Adiantum aethiopicum Details

Adiantum aethiopicum, commonly known as the Maidenhair Fern, is grown for its attractive and soft-looking foliage. The mid-green fronds emerge from a clump and are held both densely and gracefully. In the right conditions this NZ native will eventually reach 50 cm tall and the same wide, but it often only gets to just 25 cm tall and the same wide when grown indoors in a pot. It prefers to grow in moderate shade with good soil moisture and protected from wind and frost. It should not be allowed to dry out as this will cause fronds to die. Adiantum aethiopicum is commonly grown indoors as a potted plant and is well suited to bathrooms, kitchens, and other humid areas. For outdoor planting, it is ideal for planting beneath larger trees and shrubs, using in shaded areas, or planting around pool and other outdoor living areas.
