Aspasia silvana is a pseudobulbous epiphytic orchid from the Atlantic forest of eastern Brazil, found on tree branches in forest edges and cloud forests. It is grown by orchid enthusiasts who give it bright light, humidity, and a rest period in drier conditions.
Aspasia silvana is a species of orchid, exclusively and endemic in the eastern Brazilian Serra do Mar mountains, from Rio de Janeiro to Bahia. It forms large colonies, however, being not a particularly common species, it is just occasionally found, mostly on areas of transition between shady forest and open areas both in rain forests and cloud montane forests.
