Where it grows wild

Understory epiphyte of the wet Atlantic Forest of Bahia, on higher mountain spots at 800–950 m, among other tank bromeliads. Later records from Serra do Conduru and Boa Nova extend it lower, and a few specimens were terrestrial.

Described from 800–950 m. Later records reach down to about 400 m.
