Hoya camphorifolia

Hoya camphorifolia is a widespread Philippine hoya, also recorded from Sulawesi, with small oval leaves and small yellow to salmon flowers held in compact umbels. It is one of the easier Philippine species: a warm, humid, evenly wet grower that flowers freely once its roots fill a small pot and it has a support to climb.

Where it grows wild

An epiphytic climber on trunks and branches in humid lowland and lower-montane forest across the Philippines, and in Sulawesi. The wild records sit at 5 to 50 m on Luzon and Samar and at about 670 m in central Sulawesi, so it spans the lowlands into the hills.

Recorded sites lie between about 5 and 670 m; mostly lowland, reaching the lower hills.
