Hoya Polynera Inner Variegated Cutting

Hoya polyneura, also known as the "Fish Tail Hoya," is a delicate, vining plant with unique veining patterns. The inner variegated form has creamy-white or yellow variegation along the center of the leaves, contrasting with the green edges. It’s a rare and highly sought-after cultivar among Hoya collectors.

This rare and delicate Hoya polyneura variety thrives with proper care. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the variegated leaves, while too little light may cause fading.
• Grow lights can help maintain vibrant variegation, especially in winter.

2. Watering

• Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. It’s more sensitive to overwatering than other Hoyas.
• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use distilled or rainwater if your tap water is high in minerals.

3. Humidity & Temperature

• Prefers 60–80% humidity. A humidifier or pebble tray can help in dry environments.
• Temperature range: 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.

4. Soil & Potting

• Use a well-draining, chunky mix (e.g., orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir).
• Aroid soil mix or a DIY blend of cactus soil + perlite + bark works well.
• Terracotta or breathable pots help prevent root rot.

5. Fertilizing

• Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 or 20-20-20) every 2-4 weeks in the growing season
• Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

6. Propagation

• Propagate using stem cuttings with at least one node and a few leaves.
• Root in water, sphagnum moss, or a well-draining mix with high humidity.

7. Common Issues

• Yellowing leaves? Likely overwatering. Let the soil dry slightly before watering again.
• Crispy edges? Could be low humidity or underwatering.
• Leggy growth? It may need more light.
