Hoya pandurata

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Hoya pandurata faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat conversion across its native range in Southeast Asia. The species' epiphytic lifestyle makes it particularly vulnerable to logging activities that remove its host trees, while collection for the horticultural trade has intensified due to growing demand for rare Hoya species. Agricultural expansion and urban development continue to fragment the remaining forest patches where this climbing succulent naturally occurs.
