The wild Australian native maidenhair species, Adiantum aethiopicum, is a tough species that grows well outdoors in moist, shaded locations. The foliage consists of fine, bright green fronds with small, fan-shaped leaflets arranged along dark, wiry stems. The fronds have a soft, feathery appearance and form a dense, spreading mat that remains green year-round in suitable conditions. Native Maidenhair Fern is versatile in landscaping, ideal for shaded garden beds, borders, or as a ground cover under trees. It also makes an excellent indoor plant, bringing a touch of greenery and elegance to indoor spaces. It can be used in hanging baskets, containers, or as part of a fernery. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer, and trim away any dead fronds to maintain a neat appearance.
