L. japonicum is found in floodplain forests, frequently burned longleaf pine-wiregrass savannas, mixed pinewoods, mixed hardwood forests, slash pine stands, steep river banks, and magnolia-pine woodlands. It also occurs in areas prone to human disturbance such as roadsides, powerline corridors, ditches, open fields, and forest edges. L. japonicum tends to grow in moist soils in shade to full sun.[2]
Associated species include Lonicera japonica, Thelypteris torresiana, Athyrium japonicum, Thelypteris dentata, Thelypteris normalis, Osmunda regalis, Woodwardia areolata, and Lygodium microphyllum.[2]
