Hoya polyneura 'Splash'

Hoya polyneura 'Splash' is a distinctive fish-tail-leafed species marked by grey speckling across its patterned foliage. Leaves are narrow, soft green and strongly veined, forming a fishtail shape that gives the plant its characteristic look. The plant produces clusters of pale yellow to soft cream flowers with a gentle fragrance.

This species grows best in warm, bright conditions with moderate humidity and a lightly drying cycle. Its softer leaves prefer filtered light, and its fine roots benefit from an airy, free-draining mix. Steady conditions and gentle feeding during the warmer months support healthy growth and flowering.
