Where it grows wild

It grows in shaded crevices and under overhangs on quartzite and granite outcrops among highland grassland and remnant forest. This is inferred from the records and from related rock-dwelling Malagasy Streptocarpus.

It has been recorded from 1500 to 2000 m, with a median of 1820 m.
