Where it grows wild

Grows as an epiphyte on mossy trunks and branches of montane oak and cloud forest, occasionally on banks or rocks in open, wind-exposed high forest. The habitat detail is inferred from the genus and the recorded elevations rather than species-specific field notes.

Recorded at 828 to 2,950 m, median 2,450 m; nearly all records sit in the upper montane belt above 2,000 m.
