New to Hoyas. Is this normal for a fishtail? It doesn’t feel overwatered but I can def adjust my schedule if needed. Appreciate any thoughts!

Atleast it looks pretty! But i don’t know what’s causing it🤔 maybe it’s just a ”broget” or splashy one?

Haha yeah at least there’s that. Not much info/consensus online. Hopefully it’s just something that happens with baby plant new growth and might darken up over time. Would be cool if ends up being a splashy fishtail!
