This compact Maidenhair Fern variety forms a tight, lush mound of delicate green fronds arranged on fine black stems. The leaves overlap beautifully, creating a soft cascading effect that makes the plant look fuller and more ornamental than other varieties. When placed in humid, shaded environments, it grows vigorously and maintains its vibrant texture, making it a perfect choice for small indoor landscapes and decorative pots.

Care guide

  • Requires more
  • Grow in porous, organic-rich soil such as leaf mould or cocopeat mixes. Keep the medium consistently moist but avoid stagnant water. Provide filtered light and protect from dry air and cold drafts. Maintain humidity through misting or by grouping with other plants. Like other Adiantums, growth slows in winter and picks up again in warmer months.
