Autumn Fern (Dryopteris erythrosora) Care Guide
The Autumn Fern (Dryopteris erythrosora) is a beautiful, hardy fern known for its coppery-red new growth that matures into deep green fronds. It is a low-maintenance, shade-loving plant that thrives in gardens and indoor pots, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced plant lovers.
1. Light Requirements
✅ Best: Partial to full shade
✅ Tolerates: Dappled sunlight
🚫 Avoid: Direct afternoon sun (can scorch leaves)
Tip: If growing indoors, place it near a north- or east-facing window for indirect light.
2. Watering
✅ Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy
✅ Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry
🚫 Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot
Tip: Water at the base to keep fronds dry and prevent fungal issues.
3. Humidity & Temperature
✅ Prefers moderate to high humidity (40–60%)
✅ Ideal temperature: 15–25°C (59–77°F)
🚫 Avoid dry air, cold drafts, or sudden temperature changes
Tip: If indoors, use a humidity tray or occasional misting to keep fronds from drying out.
4. Soil & Potting
✅ Use well-draining, rich organic soil
✅ Best mix: 50% peat or compost + 50% sand or perlite
🚫 Avoid heavy, clay-like soil that retains too much moisture
Tip: Adding mulch around the base helps retain moisture and regulate temperature.
5. Fertilizing
✅ Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer (half-strength) every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer
🚫 Avoid over-fertilizing—excess nutrients can harm the plant
Tip: Use an organic compost or slow-release fertilizer in garden beds for steady growth.
6. Pruning & Maintenance
✅ Remove old, yellow, or damaged fronds to encourage new growth
✅ Trim back in late winter or early spring before new growth appears
Tip: If the fern looks tired, cut back old fronds to allow fresh ones to emerge.
7. Repotting
✅ Repot every 2–3 years or when roots outgrow the container
✅ Best time to repot: Early spring
Tip: If the plant looks crowded, divide it into smaller sections and replant.
8. Propagation
✅ Best method: Division
• Divide the root ball during repotting
• Replant sections in fresh soil, keeping roots moist
🚫 Does not propagate from leaf cuttings or spores easily indoors.

However, the shrimp and fish you receive may be discolored and the reason of this issue is strong vibration during transportation and they're not be fed during the transport period
To handle this problem we highly recommend to you:
🚩Let the fish relax helps them adapt to any changes in water temperature in the tank. Also prevents pH shock - an imbalance between the water in the shop tank and your tank.
🚩Place the fish bag in a cool, corner, and dark place. Prevent the bag from being bumped, slipped, or dropped. This'll give your new fish a good recovery and acclimatization after a shaky ride from the shop to your home.
🚩Feed your old fish first to distract them, preventing them from bullying your new fish.
🚩Your new aquarium tank should have a pH of zero ammonia and chlorine before adding new fish.
🚩Turn off the lights, reduce the glare in the room, or limit the light entering the aquarium. This will help the new fish not be stressed.

I’m a many times repeat customer here. As always, these were a perfectly healthy group of animals. I am always blown away by how little stress they seem to experience, adjusting to my tanks immediately. Will be back again!
The best price of the best store. Thank you guys
Started with 1 tank now I have 12 tanks your shrimp quality is the best and really is a cost effective hobby.
Started with 10 all doing beautiful. always start with 10 to really see shrimps personitly and keep generation going. Be patient for the color to come out
Amazing quality started off with 10 had to wait for them to show sex. Males are slightly faded which is normal but the females are beautiful. Start with 10 to have future generations going and quality food brings quality color.
