Where it grows wild

An epiphyte that at least in Sumatra seems to reach montane forest. Montane Dischidias grow on mossy branches in cool, cloudy, humid air. Little is published on this species beyond its original description, so conditions are built from the measured climate and what is known for epiphytic Dischidia.

The measured site is at about 1,840 m in the Padang highlands of West Sumatra. Bornean plants may grow lower.
