Hoya incrassata

A thick-leaved Philippine hoya collected on many islands, including Luzon (Mt Bulusan), Mindoro, Panay, Samar, Busuanga, Camiguin and Mindanao. One recent collection was growing in open sun on dead bark in disturbed lowland rainforest on volcanic rock. It likes bright light, warm conditions and rain all year, and its succulent leaves tolerate average humidity.

Where it grows wild

An epiphytic climber of lowland evergreen rainforest. The one detailed recent label, from Camiguin at 582 m, records it in open sun along a trail, on dead bark over volcanic bedrock, in forest disturbed by clearing. Its thick leaves suggest it is adapted to bright, exposed perches that dry out between rains.

Few records carry an elevation; the Camiguin collection was at 582 m. Most collections are from lowland localities.
