Caring for Adiantum Raddianum
As with temperature, consistent humidity is very important.
Maidenhair Ferns prefer high humidity but do not like to be misted so placing them on a pebble tray filled with water is the best solution.
Be sure the plant is sitting on the pebbles and not in the water.
Dry air causes the leaflets on the fronds to shrivel.
