Hoya dolichosparte

Hoya dolichosparte was described by Rudolf Schlechter in 1916 from Sulawesi and has hardly been reported since; GBIF has no wild records and it is not known to be in cultivation. Grow it as a warm Sulawesi hill-forest epiphyte: bright filtered light, warm nights, humid moving air, and water year round with only a slight easing in the August to September lull.

Where it grows wild

Not described in any source reached beyond the protologue. Sulawesi hoyas are epiphytic climbers on trunks and branches in humid lowland and hill forest, frequently near streams and on forest margins.

Unknown. The measured centroid sits at about 500 m; Schlechter's Celebes species came from lowland to hill forest, so 100 to 1,000 m is a fair guess.
