Where it grows wild

It grows in wet tropical forest across a wide elevation range. No habitat notes were reachable. A shaded position on trunks, mossy rocks or the forest floor is assumed from the genus.

Recorded from 10 to 2650 m, median 700 m (180 records). Plants from high elevations will want cooler nights.
