Northern maidenhair
Adiantum pedatum
Northern maidenhair fern is an elegant woodland fern that prefers consistently moist, humus-rich soil and indirect or dappled light. Protect it from direct sun and dry air, and consider placing it on a humidity tray or near a humidifier indoors. Avoid letting the roots dry out completely, as this can cause rapid frond browning.
