Comments:
This is a tropical epiphyte that cannot tolerate freezing temperatures. In its native land it grows in the rain forest in the angles of limbs and branches of trees. It grows in the humus that accumulates in these areas. It makes a good summer flowering container plant. Provide morning sunlight for good blooming, but protection from hot afternoon sun.
