Hoya buotii

Hoya buotii is a Philippine species described by Kloppenburg in 2002 and now common in cultivation, grown for its long narrow leaves with pale veins and its clusters of yellow-green flowers with red centres. It is a forgiving lowland to hill forest epiphyte from a monsoon climate: warm all year, wet from June to November and drier and sunnier from January to April.

Where it grows wild

An epiphyte of lowland and hill forest on Luzon, climbing tree trunks in bright filtered light. Growers report it as easy and quick to flower, which fits a forest-edge plant. Locality detail was not reachable.

No elevation is recorded. The single climate point is a lowland coastal site on Mindoro at about 10 m and stands in for the Philippine lowlands; hill populations would be cooler.
