Lecanopteris sinuosa is frequently found on dead trees often at roadsides in the lowlands. It has a very big distribution range covering most of South-East Asia.

All species of Lecanopteris can be grown in an open mix consisting of Sphagnum, perlite, peat, bark and other compounds that enhance drainage. While they grow directly on the bark of older trees, in cultivation growing them mounted on bark does not work too well. Plants tend to grow extremely slow when grown that way.
In cultivation all species take benefit from being fertilized regularly using Osmocote. In the wild this job is done by ants inhabiting the rhizome of the clumps.
In order to avoid ugly leaf-spots, water should not be standing on the leaves over night.

Lowland species growing near sea level love to be kept warm during day and night. They like to be grown well illuminated.
