Adiantum raddianum

Adiantum raddianum belongs to the maidenhair ferns ( Adiantum ) and originally comes from South and Central America, but is now also widespread as an invasive species in the tropics of Africa and Asia.

It grows in damp, shady habitats in the soil, on damp rocks, or even epiphytically on mossy tree trunks. It reaches a height and width of approximately 40 to 50 cm, with individual fronds reaching a length of 30 cm. The individual leaflets are light green, triangular, and have lobed edges. The very thin, wiry, black leaf stalks are particularly striking, giving it a very delicate, filigree appearance.

Although A. raddianum looks very similar to the native maidenhair fern ( Adiantum capillus-veneris ), it is not winter hardy. Therefore, it should only be kept as a houseplant or terrarium plant!

You will receive a strong, bushy plant in a 9cm pot. Approximately 20cm tall.
