Autumn Fern (Dryopteris sp.) - Large, is native to Asia.  Dryopteris erythrosora can tolerate a drier soil than many ferns, but is most successful in moist, humus-rich soil, with a pH range of 6.1 to 7.5, with morning or late afternoon sunshine but not during the middle of the day so it is best planted in any tropical gecko, frog, invert set up.
