Where it grows wild

Not described in any source reached. Bornean hoyas of lowland and hill forest grow as epiphytic climbers on trunks and in the lower canopy of everwet dipterocarp and kerangas forest.

Unknown; the measured centroid sits at about 430 m in the Borneo interior, and lowland to hill forest (0 to 1,000 m) is the likely band.
