Where it grows wild

Wet and pluvial premontane forest of the Chocó biogeographic region; labels include 'bosque pluvial premontano' at La Planada. The records do not say whether it grows as an epiphyte or on the ground. Treat it as a forest-understorey plant that may be epiphytic or hemiepiphytic.

From about 590 m (Junín-Barbacoas road, Nariño) and 950 m (Mashpi) up to 1,800-2,070 m at La Planada.
