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: Africa. The species grows across equatorial Africa from
Cameroons and the Congo Republic in the west through the central and
western forests of Uganda to Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya in the east. In
Kenya, the plants are usually found at 3000-5000 ft. (910-1520 m) on the
southern and southeastern slopes of Mt. Kenya and on the southern slopes
of Mt. Elgon. Aerangis rhodosticta grows in warm, moist conditions, almost
always in forests along rivers. Plants normally grow in areas well
protected from drought, often near waterfalls. They usually grow on twigs
and branches of shrubs, but are occasionally found on tree trunks.
