Microsorum scolopendria is widespread in the Old World, occurring from Australia, throughout Polynesia and Asia and extending to Madagascar and Africa. In Africa it occurs from the west to the east coast of South Africa and as far south as Port St. Johns. In South Africa it mostly occurs in dune forests and dune scrub, near sea level.
Care tips:
- This is a hardy species and is easy to cultivate in a wide range of habitats.
- It is best cultivated outdoors in light shade, but it will also tolerate direct sunlight for part of the day. In older gardens it often establishes on brick or stone walls, or on trees, especially palms.
- Although it will tolerate short, dry spells it is best cultivated in conditions which remain constantly moist.
- Water once a week
