MAIDENHAIR FERN
With its feathery, fan-shaped foliage the Maiden Hair Fern is a popular choice for Terrariums as well as a potted houseplant.
WATER
Maiden Hair Ferns thrive in consistently moist soil. Water the plant when the top 5cm of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or become waterlogged, as your fern will not be happy with either extreme.
LIGHT
Provide your Maiden Hair Fern with bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can scorch its delicate fronds.
FERTILSING
Feed your Maiden Hair Fern with a half strength houseplant feed once a month during the Spring and Summer months.
SOIL
Your Maiden Hair Fern will like a well draining soil mix. Visit our soil bar and add orchid bark and perlite to a standard house plant soil.
TEMPERATURE
Maiden Hair Ferns are fine in standard household temperatures but avoid draughty windows or being to close to hot radiators.
HUMIDITY
Maiden Hair Ferns love humidity, which is why they are so great in terrariums. Outside of terrariums you can increase humidity by using a humidifier or a pebble tray. Grouping plants together also helps with increasing humidity.
TOXICITY
Maiden Hair Ferns are considered non toxic to humans and animals.
