Hoya mindorensis

Mindoro hoya

A variable, easy hoya from the Philippines and northern and central Borneo, with neat, pointed leaves and round umbels of small flowers in red, salmon, pink or yellow depending on form. It is an epiphytic or climbing shrub of the wet tropics and grows well in a basket in a warm, bright, humid spot.

Where it grows wild

Wet tropical forest, where it grows as an epiphyte or climbs on trees. The several subspecies occupy different islands, and some come from hill and mountain forest.

No elevation is given in the sources found; forms from Luzon and Borneo include hill and lower montane plants, which is why it tolerates cooler nights than many lowland hoyas.
