Thanks Mike. This is a close up of that same Hoya. You can see it's growing out from where a crack has opened in the rock face. Sand and some leaves would have washed down into the crack forming some "soil". The dead lower stems suggest some years were too tough and the plant died back. Perhaps since then the crack has opened slightly wider and the roots are reaching further down enabling it to better withstand the dry season. It's looking reasonably good despite this year's dry season running longer than normal.
