Maidenhair Fern

🔥🌿 Maidenhair Fern / Adiantum raddianum 🌿🔥

Also known as: Delta Maidenhair Fern, Adiantum Fern

Delicate and graceful, the Maidenhair Fern is admired for its soft, fan-shaped fronds with tiny leaflets that flutter like lace in the breeze. Its black wiry stems and airy foliage bring an elegant, whimsical charm to indoor spaces. Though more finicky than many ferns, in the right environment it rewards with lush, cascading growth.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Prefers bright, indirect light or dappled shade. Avoid direct sun, which easily scorches delicate fronds.
💧 Water – Keep soil consistently moist (never soggy). Do not allow soil to dry out, as fronds will crisp quickly. Use soft, filtered, or rainwater to avoid mineral build-up.
🌡️ Humidity – Loves high humidity (60–80%). Dry air causes browning. Excellent in bathrooms or near a humidifier. Ideal temps: 60–75°F (16–24°C).
🌱 Growth – Clumping habit with arching fronds. Can spread to 1–2 feet indoors. Needs frequent trimming of old fronds to keep fresh growth healthy.

📊 Difficulty: Intermediate to Advanced (sensitive to drying out or neglect, but rewarding in steady conditions).

🐾 Pet Safety: Non-toxic to cats and dogs. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
Maidenhair Ferns thrive in terrariums or under glass cloches where humidity stays high. Consistency is key: avoid moving them often, and never let the soil dry out completely.
