Where it grows wild

Presumed, like most Bornean hoyas, to be an epiphytic vine in ever-wet mixed dipterocarp or hill forest, rooting into moss and bark on trunks and branches.

No elevation is recorded; the placeholder site is at 432 m, typical of the hill forest where many Sarawak hoyas are found.
