Hoya pandurata is native to Vietnam and Cambodia, where it grows as an epiphyte in limestone tropical forests. Calcium-rich soils are important for its optimal growth.
Bright indirect light, humidity 60-80%, temperatures 20-28°C. Airy substrate with fine limestone addition (eggshell powder or dolomitic limestone).
