Where it grows wild

An epiphytic to scrambling vine of humid evergreen forest, climbing trunks and clambering over rocks and shrubs at forest edges, from the lowlands into the hills.

The climate sites sit at 49 m and 867 m; the species spans lowland forest to lower montane forest, so expect a few degrees of variation between populations.
