Where it grows wild

Grows on tree trunks and branches in dry tropical lowland and subtropical monsoon forest, usually in fairly exposed, well-lit positions where roots dry quickly after rain.

Reported from near sea level to about 1,100 m; one of the measured sites in central Nepal sits around 1,500 m, near the cool edge of its range.
