The Pacific Maidenhair Fern is a graceful fern with lacy, spreading, fresh green fronds on thin black stems. They're considered hardy ferns, rather than ferns preferring steamier conditions, but don't let the description fool you. Maidenhair ferns can be difficult to keep healthy indoors, as they're quite particular about their growing conditions. The most important environmental factor is humidity—it thrives on moisture and needs a lot to survive, which can often be difficult to achieve in indoor environments. Pacific Maidenhair likes high humidity so you'll want to mist the foliage regularly if you aren't growing it in a humid environment. Ideal as a houseplant in hanging baskets, pots, ferneries and conservatories. Remove spent fronds and apply liquid fertiliser regularly to encourage lush new growth. Do not allow the soil to become soggy.
Soil: Moist, humus-rich and well-drained soil. Keep soil moist at all times and increase humidity by regular misting.
Conditions: Prefers a position with shade or dappled shade. When grown as a houseplant - choose a well-lit, airy position with high humidity.
