Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Indigenous to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, this intermediate to warm growing twig epiphyte prefers being mounted and situated such that the growing spike is exposed to bright light. This helps to keep the spike shorter and more manageable.
Comments: Parent plant: Miniature.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. Plants have been found and
are rather common in both the British and American Virgin Islands. They
have also been found on the Puerto Rican islands of Culebra and Vieques,
which lie between the east coast of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Plants grow as epiphytes, lithophytes, and terrestrials in dry to moist
scrub forests between sea level and 650 ft. (200 m). Plants are often
found near the beach where they are sometimes exposed to ocean spray.
