GENERAL INFORMATION
- Adiantum, the maidenhair fern, is a genus of about 250 species of ferns in the subfamily Vittarioideae of the family Pteridaceae, though some researchers place it in its own family, Adiantaceae.
- The genus name comes from Greek, meaning "unwetted", referring to the fronds' ability to shed water without becoming wet.
- IMPORTED FROM HOLLAND.
SOIL REQUIREMENT
- Most ferns grow best in slightly acidic soils; however, maidenhair ferns prefer a more alkaline soil pH.
- Adding some ground limestone to the potting mix of container-grown plants or mixing it into your outdoor beds will help with this.
