Where it grows wild

Its habitat is inferred from the genus. Like most Peruvian Maxillaria, it is most likely an epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in wet montane or premontane forest on the eastern Andean slopes.

The site used is a national centroid at about 270 m in the Amazon lowland. The real elevation is unknown, and an Andean slope band of roughly 1,000-2,500 m is more typical for the genus in Peru.
