Overview

Adiantum raddianum 'Fragrans', commonly known as the Maidenhair Fern, is prized for its elegant, airy appearance. Its fine black stems carry masses of soft, fan-shaped leaflets that create a light, feathery display, bringing freshness and texture to indoor spaces.

This beautiful fern is best suited to bright rooms with indirect light and consistently moist conditions. It particularly appreciates higher humidity, making it an excellent choice for naturally bright bathrooms or kitchens. With the right care, it provides lush evergreen foliage throughout the year.

Growing Guide

Indoor Placement

Place in bright, indirect light away from strong midday sun and drying heat sources. Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature changes, which can cause the delicate fronds to dry out.

Watering

Keep the compost evenly moist without becoming waterlogged. Do not allow the root ball to dry out completely, as Maidenhair Ferns can be slow to recover from prolonged dryness.

Humidity

High humidity is essential for healthy growth. A naturally bright bathroom or kitchen is often an ideal location, or increase humidity around the plant if your home is particularly dry.

Feeding

Feed monthly with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.
