Brevianthus flavus is a small, perennial, evergreen liverwort that grows in moist, shady habitats. It is propagated by spores, which are released from the sporophyte in the spring. The spores can be collected and sown on a moist, sterile substrate. The substrate should be kept moist and in a shady location to encourage germination. Once the spores have germinated, the plants can be transplanted into individual pots filled with a mixture of peat and sand.
