Where it grows wild

Labels repeatedly say rheophyte, on rocks beside streams, rocky stream banks and riversides in mixed dipterocarp forest, including karst limestone in Sarawak. It creeps over boulders and climbs the lower trunks of streamside trees.

Recorded elevations are 20–1524 m, median 150 m. Most records are lowland stream valleys.
