Hoya diptera

A Hoya native to Fiji and Vanuatu, growing in warm, humid, lowland to lower-montane Pacific island forest. It needs warm conditions year round, and bright filtered light helps it flower.

Where it grows wild

Records come from lowland and foothill forest on Fiji and Vanuatu, from sea level to about 900 m. Like most Hoya it is presumably a climbing epiphyte that roots along trunks and scrambles toward brighter light.

Recorded sites run from sea level to about 890 m; few records carry an elevation.
