Hoya polyneura, also known as the “Fishtail Hoya,” is a unique and eye-catching trailing plant prized for its elongated, fishtail-shaped leaves that feature delicate, light-green veins along a darker green surface. Its trailing stems make it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a cascading accent in indoor gardens. Over time, it can produce clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers, adding both charm and a subtle sweet scent to your space.

Care Guide:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate some filtered sunlight but avoid harsh direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.

• Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

• Temperature: Prefers 60–80°F (15–27°C); protect from cold drafts and frost.

• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity; occasional misting can help in dry indoor conditions.

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix; a mix for epiphytic plants or succulents with added perlite or orchid bark works best.

• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

• Pruning: Trim leggy or damaged stems to encourage fuller growth and maintain a tidy appearance.

• Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings in water or soil.
