Growth habits of the maidenhair fern
The maidenhair fern likes fertile, well-draining calcareous sandy loam; for home potted plants, a mix of loam, leaf mold and river sand can be used. The maidenhair fern is native to streamsides with flowing water or dripping rock faces at altitudes of 100-2800 m, and is an indicator plant of calcareous soil.
The suitable growing temperature for the maidenhair fern during the day is 21-25°C, and at night 12-15°C. As long as the temperature is above 5°C, the leaves will stay fresh green, but below 5°C the leaves will suffer cold damage.
The maidenhair fern likes diffused light and fears direct sun. Indoors it should be placed in a bright spot; even if left there for 1 year, it can still grow normally.
