Where it grows wild

No wild records with coordinates exist. Going by the genus, it is a small epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches in humid montane forest.

No recorded elevations. Most Ecuadorian Restrepias grow at about 1,200–2,800 m, and the measured site temperatures suit the lower end of that band.
