A cool Andean Columnea, first described as Alloplectus dimidiatus, recorded mainly around 2000–2300 m in Colombian montane cloud forest. Little has been published on this species beyond its description, so habitat detail is inferred from the measured sites and from related Columnea.

Where it grows wild

Montane cloud forest, where it grows as an epiphyte or on mossy banks. Cloud forest is often in fog, so light is diffuse and the air rarely dries.

Records span 50–3380 m, median 2125 m; the bulk are montane, and the few lowland records are outliers.
