Done some checking online and found that these epiphytic plants are found throughout the upper Amazon Basin, particularly above the confluence of the Amazon and the Río Negro, and along the upper Río Orinoco above Puerto Ayacucho in western Venezuela. Plants grow in the flat, low-lying forests in areas that are completely innundated during seasonal floods. The host trees partly underwater during a flood with the Acacallis cyanea mostly under water except for part of the rhizome, 1 or 2 of its leaves, and the inflorescence.
Hope to grow this plant well.
