Where it grows wild

An epiphyte in wet montane forest, often on low trees ('in wet forest, on low trees'). The sites run from the yungas of La Paz and Cochabamba to the Santa Cruz valleys, with outliers near Cusco.

Mostly 1,850–3,600 m (median 2,350 m); a 213 m record is probably mis-georeferenced.
