Fishtail Hoya Plant
Hoya Polyneura

Baby Hoya Polyneura, commonly known as the Fishtail Hoya Plant, is a trailing hoya with distinctive narrow leaves marked in subtle fishbone patterning. It’s refined, a little different and perfect for plant lovers who appreciate detail.

Unlike thicker leaf Hoyas, Hoya polyneura has slimmer, more flexible foliage that cascades beautifully from shelves and hanging planters. In bright, indirect light, it grows steadily and develops longer trailing stems over time.

As an easy care hoya, it suits UK homes well when given good light and allowed to dry slightly between waterings. Compact when young and more flowing as it matures, it brings softness without being high maintenance.

If you want something unusual but manageable, Baby Hoya Polyneura is a strong addition to any indoor jungle.

Trailing. Textured. Totally mesmerising.

✨ Why we love it:

🌿 Unique fishtail shaped leaves
🌿 Intricate dark veining pattern
🌿 Beautiful trailing growth
🌿 Can produce clusters of delicate, star shaped flowers

Top Tip

To keep the green and white foliage vibrant, rotate your Aglaonema Kiwi every couple of weeks so it grows evenly. Balanced light prevents leaning and keeps the plant looking fuller and more compact.
