Where it grows wild

A small tufted epiphyte of wet montane and cloud forest on the Amazonian slope of the Ecuadorian Andes, growing in moss on trunks and branches in filtered light.

Reported from roughly 1500 to 2500 m; the climate site in the data sits at 1215 m and is a country placeholder, so real conditions are a few degrees cooler.
