Seedlings may be safely grown on through the winter with slightly reduced water/fertilizer, but mature plants require the resting period to successfully bloom.

Parent plant: Obtained as a division of a plant said to have been collected years ago in Peru. Medium-sized plant.

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: Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. In Colombia, plants grow near Popayan along the western slopes of the Andes at 2600-4900 ft. (800-1500 m). They usually grow epiphytically in seasonally dry, mountain cloudforests on steep slopes and road cuts. Occasionally, however, plants grow on the surface of the ground in low-bush vegetation. In Ecuador, plants grow in seasonally dry, mountain cloudforest in El Oro Province near Zarum at 4250 ft. (1300 m) and near Pacha at 4600 ft. (1400 m). It was originally found growing on the trunks of trees near Cuença, Ecuador, and has since been found on the ascent from Guayaquil to Cuença at 6000 ft. (1830 m). In Perú, plants have been cultivated at Iquitos, but were collected in tropical wet forest, probably in the Department of Amazonas. In Venezuela, plants have been collected at La Aguadita, near Las Delicias (Edo. Táchira) at about 5400 ft. (1650 m).
