Where it grows wild

Published habitat detail is essentially limited to the original description; the conditions here are built from the measured sites and from what is typical for Bornean forest epiphytes. Expect a twig or branch epiphyte in humid evergreen forest.

The two measured sites sit at about 310 m and 1230 m, so it probably spans lowland to lower montane forest.
