Hoya butleriana

Hoya butleriana is a recently described Philippine hoya known mainly from the type collection and a few plants in specialist collections. Nothing beyond the country is published about its habitat, so its care is built from the Philippine lowland climate and what its relatives need: warmth, bright filtered light and a chunky, fast-drying mix.

Where it grows wild

Assumed to be an epiphytic climber of humid Philippine forest, like most of the genus in the archipelago; the published description does not give the elevation or forest type in a form that has reached the databases.

No wild record carries an elevation. The published description gives a Philippine locality only; treat it as a lowland to lower-montane forest plant unless a collection says otherwise.
