It grows on trees or rocks in cloud forests or rainforests about 800 metres. It is a small plant but in good conditions produces masses of tiny flowers about 8mm long. Flowers range in colour from white or cream to pale green with a pale orange lip.

It is a delightful miniature and suited to gardens on the tropical tablelands.
