Where it grows wild

Most of the 49 wild records sit in the mid-elevation humid evergreen forest of the eastern escarpment (the Moramanga–Andasibe area), with a few in lowland forest near the coast. Aerangis here grow on twigs and trunks in the shaded understory and mid-canopy.

Recorded at 80–1609 m, median 1005 m.
