Where it grows wild

Epiphyte on trunks and branches in humid lowland and lower montane forest, often near water; habitat is generalised from the genus and the wide range, as only one measured site exists.

The only measured site is near 1,590 m above Lake Kivu in Rwanda; much of the range lies lower and warmer.
