Hoya leembruggeniana

Hoya leembruggeniana is a Javanese wax plant described by Koorders in 1911 and rarely, if ever, in cultivation. Its one wild record comes from the hills of central Java at about 500 m, a warm, humid climate with a distinct drier spell from July to September, so it suits an ordinary warm hoya routine with a modest late-summer dry rest.

Where it grows wild

No field notes reached beyond the record. Central Java's hill forest and forest margins at this elevation host hoyas as epiphytic climbers on trunks and branches, and this species is assumed to grow that way.

The single record sits at about 490 m near Ambarawa in central Java; hill forest rather than true montane.
