Hoya brooksii

Hoya brooksii is a Sumatran hoya described by Ridley in 1925 and almost never offered in cultivation. It comes from the equatorial lowlands of Sumatra, where it is warm and very humid every month with rain the year round, so at home it wants a warm, humid, evenly watered regime with no rest period.

Where it grows wild

No elevation is recorded; the single climate point is a lowland site in central Sumatra at about 80 m and stands in for the island's lowlands.
