Athyrium otophorum, popularly known as Ottophore Lady Fern or Burma Fern, is a perennial fern species belonging to the family Athyriaceae. It is native to the Himalayan regions of China, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, and Nepal. In recent years it has increased in popularity as a houseplant due to its attractive foliage and ease of care.
The fronds of Athyrium otophorum reach a height of around 30-90 cm and have a width of around 20-30 cm. They are dark green in colour with a unique coppery-gold sheen on the undersides, adding an extra charm to its appearance. The leaves of the fern are bipinnate, meaning that they are divided into smaller leaflets, arranged in pairs along the stem.
Athyrium otophorum is a hardy fern species and is relatively easy to grow outdoors, given the correct growing conditions. It prefers well-draining soil that’s kept consistently moist, with partial shade to moderate sunlight exposure. Too much sun can dry out the soil, damaging the fern's delicate roots, and direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. In colder zones, the fern should be brought indoors for the winter to avoid frost damage.
When grown indoors, Athyrium otophorum should be placed in bright, indirect sunlight and be kept in a room with a mildly warm and humid environment. Regular misting and watering are necessary, as well as occasional fertilization with a balanced fertilizer, to keep the fern healthy and thriving.
Overall, Athyrium otophorum is an excellent choice for any fern lover looking to add a unique and beautiful plant to their collection. Its unique coppery-gold undersides, pair well with other ferns, foliage plants and brings a splash of bright green color to any room.
