Where it grows wild

No habitat detail is published beyond the type; the records fall on Andean slopes of Colombia at 1300 to 2100 m in a seasonally dry montane climate. Presumed an epiphyte in the crowns and on the trunks of forest trees, as the genus generally is, possibly in gallery or ravine forest where moisture persists through the dry months.

Recorded at 1300 to 2100 m, median 1450 m (7 records).
