Hoya Polyneura ‘Inner Variegated’ – Mermaid Tail Hoya with Cream Inner Variegation

Hoya polyneura ‘Inner Variegated’ is a highly sought-after form of Hoya polyneura, famous for its distinctive “mermaid tail” or fish-tail leaves. This rare inner-variegated type displays creamy to pale-yellow variegation in the center of the leaf, framed by deeper green margins and highlighted by the characteristic bold, fishbone-like venation.

The foliage grows in pairs along slender vines, creating an elegant, architectural look that stands out in any Hoya collection. With bright filtered light, the inner variegation becomes more pronounced while the veins remain dramatically visible. Given stable conditions, this cultivar can produce clusters of creamy-white flowers with a light, sweet fragrance.

Why collectors love it:

• Distinct inner (center) variegation

• Iconic fish-tail / mermaid-tail leaf shape

• Rare and highly decorative foliage

• Great statement plant for cabinets and displays

Care overview:
