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: New Guinea. Plants grow at high elevations on moss-covered trees, on mossy rocks near streams, and on cliff faces and east-facing road cuts where the roots attach to the clay soil beneath the covering of moss, lichens, and other small plants. They are found in shady places as well as on exposed mountain peaks in typical alpine habitat, where they are exposed to breezes. Plants are reported from as low as 2450 ft. (750 m), but they are more often found at 6550–11,500 ft. (2000–3500 m). Schlechter (ref. 437) indicated that the high alpine species require "much moisture for their cultivation and under no circumstances will they tolerate high, continuous heat. Where they occur, particularly in the mornings during their growth periods, the temperature drops to 41F (5C) and below."
