Hoya benvergarae

Hoya benvergarae is a Philippine endemic described by Kloppenburg and Siar in 2008, known mostly from cultivated material. Almost nothing is published about its wild habitat, so this profile is built from the general Philippine lowland-to-hill forest climate and what Philippine hoyas as a group need: warm nights, high humidity, bright filtered light and an airy root run.

Where it grows wild

Assumed, as for most Philippine hoyas, to be an epiphytic vine on trunks and branches of humid evergreen forest, from the lowlands into the hills.

No elevation is recorded; the placeholder climate site sits at 9 m. Philippine hoyas of this group mostly occur below about 1,000 m.
