Oeosporangium pteridioides subsp. pteridioides flourishes in dense forest areas. Its survival is greatly influenced by the temperature and moisture level, with high heat, arid conditions, and intense sun exposure being unfavorable for the plant. During hot seasons, it needs adequate shade and a high-humidity setting to thrive. While Oeosporangium pteridioides subsp. pteridioides typically doesn't need tailored maintenance in the winter, an extended winter dry spell can be detrimental to its life.
