Where it grows wild

Little is published for this species. Like most Andean Pleurothallis it is presumably an epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in humid montane forest.

No elevation is recorded; the Medellín area lies around 1,500–2,500 m, which suits a cool to intermediate cloud-forest orchid.
