Where it grows wild

Little is published on this species specifically. Microsorum in this region usually grow on tree trunks, mossy rocks or banks in humid forest, and this profile assumes the same.

The few elevation records are 485 to 700 m, but many climate sites are lowland, so it probably spans near sea level to about 800 m.
