Dryopteris erythrosora is a woodland fern whose new fronds open in copper, bronze or soft pink tones before maturing to green.
A short rhizome forms a clumping crown that slowly widens in the pot. Over time, the plant can reach around 60 cm tall and form a broad clump.
This fern grows on shaded forest floors across parts of China, Japan and Korea, in humus-rich soil that stays evenly moist.
It can be evergreen or semi-evergreen depending on temperature and indoor conditions. Cold, dry air or indoor heat can make older fronds decline faster. Fresh fronds appear in flushes when the plant stays evenly moist.
New fronds emerge from the central crown, which should stay slightly exposed and free from old, damp plant material.
Divide established plants so each section has roots and an active crown. Spore propagation is possible but slow.
Keep cut fronds and old plant pieces away from pets or children that may eat them.
Dryopteris is often interpreted as “oak fern.” erythrosora refers to reddish spore structures on mature fronds.
