Where it grows wild

The traceable material comes from the La Cocha (Lago Guamués) area of Nariño at about 3000 m, in Andean montane forest. The sources we could open do not describe its growth habit; high-Andean Philodendron are mostly hemiepiphytic climbers, so treat it as one.

The wild-sourced records sit at about 3000 m.
