The strong herringbone pattern gives each leaf a sculptural, almost fish-tail appearance, making this one of the most recognisable foliage Hoyas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied in a \u003cstrong\u003e14cm hanging pot\u003c\/strong\u003e with typically around \u003cstrong\u003e30cm of trailing growth\u003c\/strong\u003e, it makes an immediate display and looks especially effective from a high shelf, plant hanger or elevated planter. As a living plant, individual specimens will naturally vary slightly in shape, fullness and trailing length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight \u0026amp; Position\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive Hoya polyneura plenty of \u003cstrong\u003ebright, indirect or filtered light\u003c\/strong\u003e. Good light encourages healthy, compact growth and gives the plant the best chance of flowering, but avoid prolonged harsh midday sun through glass, which can scorch the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWatering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater when the upper layer of compost has dried, then water thoroughly and allow all excess water to drain away. Hoya polyneura prefers an airy, free-draining growing medium and should never be left sitting in waterlogged compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReduce watering during autumn and winter when growth slows, but avoid leaving the plant completely dry for prolonged periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHumidity \u0026amp; Temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoya polyneura appreciates moderate to higher humidity and warm, stable indoor conditions. Keep away from cold draughts, radiators and other direct heat sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegular misting is not essential; good surrounding humidity and airflow are more important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed lightly during spring and summer while the plant is actively growing. A balanced liquid houseplant feed or suitable orchid fertiliser can be used at reduced strength. Reduce or stop feeding during autumn and winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFlowers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature plants grown in good light can produce clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers. As with other Hoyas, avoid removing the short flower spurs after blooming, as future flowers may develop from the same points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrailing Growth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoya polyneura has a naturally trailing habit and is particularly well suited to hanging displays. Its cascading stems can also be gently guided around a support if you prefer a more structured shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlease Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoya polyneura has relatively delicate foliage and, as with all living plants, each plant will vary slightly. Individual leaves may have small natural blemishes, marks or minor cosmetic imperfections from growing, handling or transport. These do not affect the overall health of the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe carefully select and pack every plant before dispatch.
