Hoya Polyneura Albo 6113

Latin name: Hoya polyneura ‘Albo’
Common name: Variegated Fish Tail Hoya 🍃
Native to the Himalayan foothills (NE India), this elegant epiphytic trailer is prized for narrow, fish-bone-veined leaves patterned with creamy white sectors and splashes. Under bright light, new growth may blush softly; the variegated form grows a bit slower and appreciates steadier light.
FLOWER DETAILS
Tight umbels of small, star-shaped, waxy blooms 🌸. Corollas are creamy to pale yellow with pink-to-maroon centers, glossy like porcelain. The scent is lightly sweet—most noticeable in the evening—adding a calm, intimate feel when in bloom.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; brief gentle morning sun is helpful. Variegation needs consistent brightness, but avoid harsh midday rays.
💧 Water: Let ~60–75% of the mix dry before a thorough soak; reduce in winter. Never leave water standing in the cachepot.
🌡️ Humidity: Prefers 50–70%; tolerates average indoor levels but buds better with higher humidity.
🪴 Soil: Very airy, fast-draining mix (orchid bark + perlite + chunky coco/peat).
🏺 Potting: Slightly root-bound is best; pot with ample drainage. Provide a hoop/trellis or let it trail. Repot every 12–18 months.
🌱 Growth rate: ~6–12 cm (2–5 in) per 6 months in bright conditions (slower than green form).
🐾 Pet friendly: Yes — generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
