Where it grows wild

Cerro Jungurudó is a forested massif in the very wet Darién region; the plant is presumed to grow as an epiphyte in humid lowland to premontane rainforest, as most Aechmea there do. No species-specific habitat notes were available.

Probably lower to middle elevations of the Darién hills; the climate point used is a lowland site at 45 m.
