Hoya bicolensis
A Philippine wax plant described in 2012 by Kloppenburg, Siar and Cajano from the Bicol region at the southeastern tip of Luzon, which gives it its name. Almost nothing about its wild habitat is published in sources we could open. It is best grown like other lowland Philippine hoyas: a warm, humid, climbing epiphyte that needs bright filtered light and an airy medium that dries a little between waterings.
Where it grows wild
No habitat details are available in the sources we could open. Hoyas of the Bicol region generally climb trees or scramble through the canopy edge in lowland to lower montane rainforest, rooting into bark and humus, and this profile assumes the same.
No elevation is published in the sources we opened; most of the Bicol peninsula's forest lies below about 1000 m apart from a few volcanoes.
