Fish Tail Hoya (Hoya polyneura) has been one of the hardest for me to keep alive ... under my care this hoya usually begins to sulk and dies quickly. I did purchased another one (Exotic Angel Plant) a few months ago and although it's pretty ratty looking, it's still hanging in there. It's not my favorite hoya so I don't know what possessed me to buy another one. Confused I thought it was going to kick the bucket shortly after bringing it home because leaves began to fade or turn yellow and drop like crazy but I re-potted it and sat it on the floor of the screened porch where it still sits. I just can't seem to figure out the wants and needs of this one:


I just don't seem to do well with the thinner leaf varieties of Hoya; I couldn't keep the Shooting Star Hoya (H. multiflora) alive for long either. The thicker, succulent leaf varieties seem to do so much better in my conditions.
