Where it grows wild

An epiphyte on trees in seasonally dry hill forest; in these forests many trees lose leaves in the dry season, so the plant gets more light in winter. Habitat detail is from the records' climate, not a published description.

The climate sites lie between 190 and 1580 m, most between 450 and 1100 m.
