Filmy Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum diaphanum)

Adiantum diaphanum, commonly known as the Filmy Maidenhair Fern, is a delicate, evergreen fern native to subtropical and tropical regions, including southern Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam, and parts of Australia and New Zealand. It thrives in moist, shaded environments such as rainforest understories, streambanks, and wet rock faces. This fern is well-suited for terrariums, providing a lush, tropical aesthetic with its finely divided, translucent fronds.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate fronds.

• Soil: Thrives in well-draining, humus-rich soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist. Regular misting can help maintain humidity levels, which is crucial for its health.

• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 18°C to 30°C.

• Humidity: Requires high humidity, making it perfect for terrariums.
