Grow it bright and airy, with warm days, clearly cooler nights and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Herbarium labels record it on quartzite campo rupestre (rocky montane grassland) and in small forest patches (capões). Sites include the Parque Estadual do Itacolomi and private reserves near Ouro Preto.

Only two GBIF records carry an elevation (592 and 935 m). The Itacolomi and Ouro Preto area localities lie roughly between 900 and 1,500 m.
