Maidenhair spleenwort
Asplenium trichomanes
Maidenhair spleenwort thrives in cool, shaded spots with consistently moist, well-draining soil — avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate fronds. It prefers humid conditions, so grouping it with other plants or placing a humidity tray nearby will help it flourish indoors. This compact fern is well-suited to terrariums, rock gardens, or shaded windowsills.
