Hoya gaoligongensis is a wild epiphytic vine from the Gaoligong mountains of Yunnan, China, growing on large trees in cool, humid forest at high altitude. It is a rarely cultivated species, so it needs cool, humid, bright conditions and a loose, humus-rich epiphyte mix.
Hoya gaoligongensis grows in moist, evergreen, broad-leaved forests between 2,000 and 2,400 meters above sea level and is currently found only in pristine forests. It has the characteristics of living and growing on a large tree. It is very demanding on habitats such as forest quality, humidity, temperature and humus accumulation on bark surfaces. It was first found in Longling Xiaoheishan Provincial Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, China.
