Hoya erythrina

A rarely documented lowland hoya of Peninsular Malaysia and Vietnam, known in the wild from very few collections, one of them from a river edge in Pahang. The single measured site has a hot, wet, humid climate with no dry season. Grow it warm and humid in bright shade, and treat most details as generalised from similar Malaysian lowland hoyas.

Where it grows wild

Little is published on its habitat. The one wild collection with a habitat note is from a river edge at Sungai Teranum in Pahang, which points to lowland forest along streams, where hoyas climb trees in humid, dappled light.

No elevations are recorded. The Pahang record suggests lowland to hill forest.
