Where it grows wild

No wild records with coordinates exist; by analogy with the genus it most likely grows on wet, seepy banks, rock faces or stream margins in humid forest, often where water runs past the roots.

No elevation is recorded for the species; Colombian Phragmipedium generally occur from the foothills to around 2,000 m, so the 174 m lowland climate point is likely too hot.
