Where it grows wild

Found in Andean montane forest, mostly in Colombia and Ecuador. The growth form was not confirmed; many montane Asplenium here grow on mossy trunks or shaded banks. Care values are built from the measured climate and what is typical for the genus, because no species-level habitat text was reachable.

Records span 0–3400 m, median 2115 m (160 records). Most plants are in the cloud-forest belt.
