FAQs

Is Hoya Polyneura a fast grower? ›

Hoya polyneura is also called 'the fishtail Hoya' because of its unique leave venation pattern. It's an amazing, fast growing houseplant with splendid leaves and beautiful red-yellow flowers.

Fishtail Hoya does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!

Hoya polyneura, commonly known as the fishtail hoya, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Hoya found from the Himalayas to northwest Yunnan. This species has a pendant, epiphytic growth habit, and its common name derives from the mermaid's tail shape and fine venation of the leaves.

The native range of this species is Central Himalaya to China (NW. Yunnan). It is an epiphytic subshrub and grows primarily in the subtropical biome.

Hoya Polyneura, also known as the fish-tail Hoya a rare beauty!

An extremely popular rare hoya variety is the Hoya carnosa 'Compacta. ' This plant is often called the “Hindu Rope Hoya” due to its unique rope-like appearance. While many hoyas have trailing vines, the Hoya carnosa 'Compacta' foliage twists and turns, creating rope-like vines.

Keep your hoya indoor plant where it can get 2-6 hours of bright indirect light. You can also use shades to protect your wax plant from direct sunlight, especially around midday. But look: Some hoya varieties can thrive under 12-16 hours of grow lights (indoor plant lighting), but a few need more bright light.

Caring for Hoyas

For soil, they prefer a loose airy mix or an orchid type of growing medium consisting of bark, perlite, or another aggregate, with a small amount of organic matter.

Hoya easily roots in either a glass of water or in a prepared pot of potting mix. Soil that stays overly moist may cause the cutting to rot and die. Houseplant cutting will grow quite easily when planted in a pot of perlite.

What are the most expensive Hoya varieties? ›

– Hoya Carnosa Compacta Or Hindu Rope Plant

Also, this is one of the most expensive hoyas owing to its uniqueness and exoticness. The curly, waxy leaves stand out among other plants having flat, broad leaves. Its lush foliage, with remarkable vines, curls, and spreads, render a showy appeal.

Remember, fully water them, not just sips - these definitely like a bit more water than the "average" Hoya. Never let them sit in water and never water them if the potting mix is still damp, as that will lead to root rot. You may see some Hoya care guides telling you to let the leaves wrinkle before you water again.

One of the most richly fragrant Hoyas, Hoya nummularioides is an epiphytic perennial vine. It flowers once or twice a year under local conditions, namely after a short dry rest, often with the entire vine covered with tiny clusters of flowers.

Hoya lauterbachii — This Hoya grows the largest blooms of the genus and it grows soft, pubescent leaves.

One of my favorite Hoyas, as well as one of the easiest to care for, is Hoya obovata. The leaves are very succulent, so they can withstand periods of complete dryness with ease. One benefit of this Hoya is that it will often bloom as a fairly young plant and it has a fairly rapid growth rate (for a Hoya!).

One of the easiest houseplants to care for is the Hoya pubicalyx, like most other Hoyas. Each species has different growth rates, but the porcelain flower grows fast. It has thick glossy leaves and makes for an exceptional ornamental plant in your home.

Hoya Polyneura care summary:

Maintain temperatures around 71°F and humidity levels between 45-60% (higher during winter) for optimal growth and flowering. Use well-draining soil mixes. Fertilize regularly with a diluted solution of Dyna-Gro Foliage-Pro or a weak orchid fertilizer.

Hoya polyneura will do best in about 50% humidity and will also enjoy higher humidity. You may choose to put this plant in a glass grow cabinet to boost humidity levels—or add a humidifier. Misting plants does not really do much to boost humidity.
