7 Stunning Black Vines and Trailing Plants for Indoors

1. Black Jewel Orchid

My first encounter with the Black Jewel Orchid left me speechless. Its deep green, almost black leaves are a sight to behold. The lusciously thick foliage is accentuated by striking yellow veins, creating a mesmerizing pinstripe effect. It’s become a conversation starter in my living room!

2. Black Pothos

When I needed a sleek, sophisticated plant for my home office, Black Pothos was the answer. Its heart-shaped dark green leaves look almost black, creating a striking contrast against my light-colored walls. I’ve placed it in a hanging basket, and it’s truly elevated the space.

3. Black Goldfish Plant

Looking to add a pop of color to your indoor garden? The Black Goldfish Plant is a showstopper. I adore its unique black-tipped orange flowers against the dark green foliage. It thrives in my well-lit bathroom, enjoying the bright indirect light and high humidity.

4. Purple Wandering Jew

For a touch of royalty, I chose the Purple Wandering Jew. Its deep purple leaves add a regal feel to my reading nook. As a busy mom, I appreciate how easy it is to care for. It’s fast-growing and forgiving, perfect for those of us juggling a hectic lifestyle.

5. Philodendron Black Cardinal

The Philodendron Black Cardinal brings warmth to any room with its rich burgundy leaves. I’ve made it a standout specimen in my dining area, where it creates a cozy yet bold aesthetic. It’s amazing how a single plant can transform the entire mood of a space!

6. Black Lipstick Plant

My absolute favorite for hanging baskets is the Black Lipstick Plant. Its cascading tendrils and dark glossy leaves are a true spectacle. Under certain light conditions, the leaves take on an almost-black hue. And when it blooms? The striking red flowers resemble tubes of lipstick – hence the name!

7. Purple Heart Plant

Last but not least, the Purple Heart Plant has stolen my heart with its deep purple and green foliage. I’ve let it grow as a trailing vine over my bookshelves, where its richly colored leaves drape dramatically. It grows so vigorously that I often find myself sharing cuttings with friends.
