Hoya benstoneana

A little-documented wax plant endemic to the Philippines, described by Kloppenburg and colleagues and named after the botanist Benjamin C. Stone. Almost nothing about its wild habitat is published, so this profile follows typical Philippine forest hoyas: warm, humid, bright-filtered light and a very airy epiphytic mix.

Where it grows wild

No habitat details are published for this species. Most Philippine Hoya are epiphytic climbers in humid forest, rooting on bark and scrambling through the canopy, and this profile assumes the same.

Not recorded in any source we could open. Not measured.
