Where it grows wild

Lower montane forest on the Andean slopes; the Colombian plant catalogue gives 1600–2560 m. Its growth habit (epiphytic or terrestrial) is not recorded in the sources we could reach.

Colombian catalogue: 1600–2560 m. GBIF records have a median of 1700 m; the extremes (200 m and 5825 m) are almost certainly georeferencing errors.
