Mexico side of the country in the states of Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo, Querétaro, Puebla,
Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. They normally grow in warm oak forests with tropical deciduous trees at 3950–5250
ft. (1200–1600 m). The habitat is varied, however, and plants may grow somewhat higher or lower in cooler or hotter
climates in both shady and sunny locations. The varied habitat indicates an adaptability that explains why plants are
usually considered easy to cultivate. On the Pacific side of the mountains, plants are found in the state of Oaxaca and
possibly in Guerrero and Jalisco as well. They are most often found in oak trees in humid forests at 5250–5900 ft.
(1600–1800 m), but they occasionally grow on rocks. This species is also reported in Guatemala and Honduras, but we
found no information about habitat location and elevation in these countries. -- Source: Charles Baker
