Where it grows wild

Not documented for the hybrid. P. violacea grows on trunks in humid lowland forest near rivers, and P. cornu-cervi on branches in brighter, more open forest; the hybrid presumably grows where they overlap.

No elevation is recorded. The measured site sits at about 160 m in the lowlands.
