Amauropelta noveboracensis, the New York fern, is a perennial species of fern found throughout the eastern United States and Canada, from Louisiana to Newfoundland, but most concentrated within Appalachia and the Atlantic Northeast. New York ferns often forms spreading colonies within the forests they inhabit.
New york fern typically has good resistance to disease and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is regarded as difficult, since it needs a moist environment and frequent watering. However, the roots are susceptible to rot if overwatered or if the surroundings are poorly ventilated. New york fern is appropriate for people with some growing experience, as most individuals can keep it alive for a period. Still, it may struggle to thrive and its leaves can dry out and become less healthy over time.
