Description:
Adiantum capillus-veneris, commonly known as the Southern Maidenhair Fern, is a delicate deciduous fern with light green, triangular leaves and wiry black stems. It forms a spreading mat up to 10 inches tall and 4 feet wide over a decade, making it more compact than other varieties. This fern thrives in moist, well-drained soils and requires filtered light and high humidity, making it suitable for indoor cultivation. It is winter hardy to 6 degrees Fahrenheit and can be propagated by dividing rhizomes. Native to a wide range of regions, including the southern United States and parts of Eurasia, it is endangered in North Carolina and threatened in Kentucky. Historically, it has been used in traditional medicine by Native Americans and in Iran.
