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: Brazil. Plants grow near Rio de Janeiro on almost
vertical, east-facing rock cliffs at 700–2600 ft. (200–800 m). They are
exposed to strong winds and almost full sun, but the roots are buried in
cracks in the rock face which protects them from bright light and
excessive drying. The cracks contain rock chips but very little vegetable
matter. Plants sometimes grow in the tops of trees where they are exposed
to maximum sunlight and strong air movement.
