The Hoya Fishtail (Hoya polyneura) is a highly sought-after trailing plant, admired for its unique, fishtail-shaped leaves with delicate veining. Its soft, flowing foliage and elegant form make it a beautiful addition to shelves, hanging planters, or plant stands.

This hoya has a gentle trailing habit and, with time and the right care, can produce long cascading vines. When mature, it may also reward you with clusters of small, star-shaped, sweetly scented flowers‚ making it as special in bloom as it is in foliage.

Plant care

Hoya polyneura prefers a well-draining, airy soil mix and should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings. As a semi-succulent, it does not tolerate soggy soil or overwatering.

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but should be protected from direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. It prefers warm indoor temperatures between 18-26C and enjoys higher humidity, though it adapts well to average indoor conditions.

Feed lightly during the warmer growing months to encourage healthy growth and potential flowering. With patience and consistent care, the Hoya Fishtail will become a graceful, trailing feature in your indoor plant collection.
