Where it grows wild

Terrestrial on shaded slopes, banks and rocky ground in seasonally dry forest and woodland; the dry-winter climate suggests it grows where moisture persists, such as ravines and rock faces. Specific habitat notes were not available.

Recorded from near sea level to about 1,400 m median (178 records); a maximum of 4,041 m is doubtful.
