Where it grows wild
An epiphyte in tropical wet and premontane rain forest. The leaf scars are hidden under dense roots and persistent cataphyll fibres, a growth form that catches litter and moisture on trunks and branches. Section Porphyrochitonium species typically grow in shaded to moderately lit positions on tree trunks.
Wild records span 5–900 m, with a median of 380 m across 57 records. A Colombian regional dataset extends this to 1,150 m. It is mostly a lowland to lower-premontane species.
