Hoya minima

Hoya minima is a small-leaved Vietnamese species described by Costantin in 1912 in the Flore générale de l'Indo-Chine and rarely seen since. There are no wild records, so this profile uses the reference climate for central Vietnam, a monsoon climate with a cool, drier winter and an extremely wet autumn, and general Hoya care.

Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic, small-leaved vine of humid evergreen forest in Vietnam; the reference site lies in the limestone karst country of Quang Binh, where hoyas grow on trees and rock in dappled light.

No elevation is recorded; the reference site sits at 116 m, so the figures describe lowland to foothill conditions.
