Where it grows wild

The sources checked record little beyond the type locality on Mount Apo, which has montane and mossy forest at these altitudes. Growth form is not documented; many Asplenium there grow on mossy trunks and logs.

Records span 863–2103 m with a median of 1664 m, which is montane-to-mossy forest.
