It favours calcareous rocks such as limestone and can be mainly found growing in cave entrances, along the side of shaded streams, and in ravines and gorges. [3] It has, however, been found on logs and even on the base of trees. [4] Beeveria distichophylloides also prefers areas with high rainfall and enjoys growing on damp surfaces. [3]
