Where it grows wild

Epiphyte in humid montane forest on the eastern Andean slope of southern Ecuador; habitat detail beyond the one locality is not published in what was available.

The single record sits near 950 m by the climate model's site, but no elevation was recorded with the specimen; related southern Ecuadorian species grow mostly at 1000-2000 m.
