Hoya carmelae

Hoya carmelae is a Philippine hoya described in 2010 with ovate leaves and small, fragrant, pale flowers, occasionally seen in specialist collections. Little is published on where it grows, so care follows the Philippine lowland forest pattern: warm and humid with bright filtered light, a small pot and a fast-draining mix.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic climber in humid Philippine forest; the original description does not give an elevation in the public 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.
