Hoya faoensis

A Hoya from Samoa, described by Kloppenburg and Siar in 2008. There are no wild GBIF records, so the conditions here use a point in Upolu's upland forest and general Hoya care. It can be treated as a warm-to-intermediate climbing Hoya that wants steady humidity and no real dry season.

Where it grows wild

Habitat is not described in the sources we could open. It is assumed to be an epiphytic or climbing vine of Samoan rainforest, as most Pacific Hoya are.

No elevation is recorded. The climate was taken at about 740 m on Upolu.
