Where it grows wild

Recorded in wet lowland and premontane forest on both slopes of Costa Rica and Panama and in the Chocó and Urabá of Colombia. Little species-specific ecology is published; like most Chamaedorea it is assumed to be a terrestrial understory palm.

Records run from 50 to 2,200 m, but the median is 800 m, so treat it as a warm premontane plant.
