The rhizome is short and covered with dark brown, shiny, fine-tipped scales. The tip of the frond may take root and produce new plantlets. Occurs in a variety of sheltered moist vegetation types in caves, under rock ledges, in crevices, on logs, tree trunks, on stream banks or on rocks above cliffs or waterfalls. Not drought tolerant, it was included in the water feature for the Melbourne Flower and Garden Show 2011.
