Hoya polyneura albomarginata is a variegated form of the much-loved Fishtail Hoya, prized for its distinctive foliage and elegant growth habit. Each leaf displays the characteristic fishbone venation of the species, highlighted by crisp cream margins that contrast beautifully against the soft green centres.
Unlike many variegated Hoyas, this form retains the graceful appearance that made Hoya polyneura famous while adding a refined edge variegation that enhances every leaf. As the plant matures, it develops into a cascading specimen ideal for hanging baskets and display shelves.

Temperature: Warm to intermediate growing; ideally 15–28°C.
Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity.
Media: Open, free-draining Hoya mix with excellent aeration.
