Haplopteris requires high humidity and indirect light to thrive. Special care involves ensuring the plant is consistently misted or placed near a humidifier. Additionally, it is sensitive to root rot; thus, proper drainage and avoiding overwatering are crucial. Given these specific care needs, haplopteris is considered difficult to maintain.

Reflexed-margine single-leaf fern is a tropical fern that has various sub-species that live either on rocks as an epilith (Vittaria caricina, V. nana, and V. modesta) or in trees (V. ophiopogonoides) as an epiphyte. In 2021 a scientific paper was published detailing the complete chloroplast genome sequence of this plant.
Tape fern is an epiphyte, which means it physically supports itself on other plants without being parasitic. It can also grow on rocks. It occurs in rainforests and depending on its habitat, the visual characteristic of this Haplopteris elongata can vary significantly.
