Geographical origin:

Madagascar.
Epiphyte on tree trunks in coastal and plateau humid evergreen forests, widespread; sea level to 1200m.

  
Culture :
 
This species is really easy to grow.
IOt can be mounted on slab with sphagnum or moss, but it can be potted too , with medium fir bark, sphagnum moss or even pure coarse perlite.
The light range that it tolerates is considerable, but this Aeranthes is happiest  at lower light levels.
It doesn't like to keep to dry, so don't reduce too much the watering during winter and give it a lot of water when it is hot.
Temperate to hot temperatures.
