Know before you buy
Yes, the Adiantum raddianum 'Fragrans' is non-toxic to both cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for households with curious pets.
Check the top inch of soil regularly; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. The goal is to keep the soil damp like a wrung-out sponge, but never let the plant sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.
Maidenhair ferns require bright, indirect light to thrive. A room without natural light will likely cause the foliage to thin or yellow, so it is best placed near a window that receives filtered sunlight.
These rooms typically offer higher ambient humidity levels, which this fern needs to prevent its delicate, feathery fronds from drying out or turning brown at the tips.
Every plant from this nursery comes with a pest and disease-free guarantee, ensuring you receive a healthy, high-quality specimen grown in their family-owned facility.
