Hoya polyneura albo hpa008

Hoya Polyneura (Outer Margin Variegated)

Hoya polyneura (outer margin variegated) is a variegated variety of Hoya polyneura (Fishtail Hoya). Hoya polyneura (outer margin variegated) is a beautiful, delicate plant with thin leaves that have a venation pattern resembling a fishtail (or mermaid's tail). The outside edge of the leaves is thinly outlined with a white variegation pattern. 

Flower

The inflorescence consists of a number of hanging or more upright flowers arranged in an umbel. The flowers have centres that are red and creamy yellow. They appear to be made of wax and are born in clusters with a star-like shape. The surface of the flower is smooth and devoid of the tiny hairs typical of many other Hoyas. They have a strong scent.

Hoya polyneura (outer margin variegated) blooms from spurs, just like all other Hoya species. These emerge from the axils of the leaves and stem; they may not bear flowers at first, but eventually, buds will appear from the tips of the spurs. These same spurs produce new flowers every season, so they shouldn't be harmed or taken away.

The plant blooms from spring until late summer; on the same peduncle, it can create umbels of 5 to 15 tiny star-shaped flowers that develop gradually over the course of 2 to 3 weeks. Early in the evening is when the scent is strongest.
