Where it grows wild

Epiphyte (occasionally on mossy rock) in lower montane rain forest on Borneo; species-specific habitat detail is thin, so this follows the genus in comparable forest.

Dated records cluster at about 1400 m; the climate blend also includes a few lowland sites, so the true range likely spans roughly 1000–1800 m.
