Strophocactus wittii grows as a epiphyte, creeping and climbing up trees. The richly branched, leaf-like, flattened stems are phylloclades, and are pressed close to the tree trunks of their carriers and form aerial roots along their midrib. The flowers only open for one night.

Strophocactus wittii is common in the rainforests of the central Amazon basin along blackwater rivers.
