Where it grows wild

The records come from humid evergreen forest at 630–1400 m. Nothing specific is published about its microhabitat, so these conditions are based on similar small Angraecum epiphytes of moist montane forest, which grow on mossy trunks and branches in filtered light.

630–1400 m in the records (median about 1290 m), i.e. mid-elevation montane forest.
