Hoya Fish Tail Polyneura broget 6120

Latin name: Hoya polyneura
Common name: Variegated Fish Tail Hoya, Fish Tail Hoya 🍃
Native to the Himalayan foothills (NE India), this elegant epiphytic trailer is loved for its slim, fish-tail-veined leaves. The ‘Broget’ variegation adds creamy marbling and sectors along the blades, creating striking contrast on cascading vines; new growth may blush softly under brighter light.
FLOWER DETAILS
Umbels of small, star-shaped, waxy flowers. Corollas are creamy to pale yellow with pink-to-red centers, glossy like porcelain and lightly sweet-fragrant—especially noticeable in the evening—adding a cozy, intimate mood when in bloom. 🌸
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; brief gentle morning sun is helpful. Variegation needs more light but avoid hot midday rays to prevent scorch.
💧 Water: Allow ~60–75% of the mix to dry before a thorough soak; reduce in winter. Never leave standing water in the cachepot.
🌡️ Humidity: Prefers 50–70%; tolerates average indoor levels but sets buds more readily with higher humidity.
🪴 Soil: Very airy, fast-draining mix (orchid bark + perlite + chunky coco/peat).
🏺 Potting: Keep slightly root-bound in a pot with excellent drainage; provide a hoop/trellis or let it trail. Repot every 1–2 years or when roots circle densely.
🌱 Growth rate: ~8–15 cm (3–6 in) per 6 months in bright conditions (variegation grows slower than green form).
🐾 Pet friendly: Yes — generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
