Hoya Polyneura
Fishtail Hoya
Delicate, unusual, and quietly stunning, Hoya polyneura is better known as the Fishtail Hoya thanks to its perfectly patterned, fishbone shaped leaves. With fine dark veining running through soft green foliage, this trailing beauty looks almost too detailed to be real.
It’s elegant, slightly different from your typical wax plant, and a favourite for collectors who love something a little more refined.
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
💡 Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun, but don’t tuck it into deep shade.
💧 Water: Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Hoyas prefer to dry slightly rather than sit wet.
🌱 Soil: A chunky, well draining mix with bark and perlite is ideal. Good airflow around the roots is key.
🌡️ Temperature: Loves warmth and stable indoor conditions. Protect from cold draughts.
💦 Humidity: Appreciates moderate to higher humidity but adapts well to most homes.
🐾 Pet/Child Safe? Generally considered non toxic, but always best to keep plants out of reach of pets.
🌿 Top Tip: Don’t remove old flower spurs after blooming. Hoyas rebloom from the same spot.
Hoya polyneura is elegant, detailed, and effortlessly cool. A trailing statement plant that brings soft texture and collector energy into your jungle. 🌿
