Where it grows wild

Davallia are mostly epiphytic or lithophytic ferns with creeping, scaly rhizomes on tree trunks and mossy rocks in warm-temperate to tropical Asian forest. The exact habitat of this species is undocumented in sources we could reach.

Unknown; related Chinese and Southeast Asian Davallia grow roughly from 300 to 2,000 m.
