To care for an Autumn Fern, provide it with moist, well-drained, organically rich soil in part shade to full shade. Water it regularly, especially during the first growing season, to establish its root system. Prune old fronds after new growth begins in spring to maintain a tidy appearance.
Plant in part shade to full shade; avoid hot, full sun.
It can tolerate full sun if there is consistent moisture, but it performs best with shade or dappled light
