Southern Maiden Hair, Adiantum capillus-veneris

Southern Maiden Hair, Adiantum capillus-veneris:



organic with rocks lover wet conditions



"The southern maidenhair fern, is a species of fern in the genus Adiantum with a semi-worldwide distribution. In the United States, it grows as far north as southern Missouri and southernmost Kentucky. In California it occurs in numerous locations and habitats throughout the state, but always where it is moist but not saturated and somewhat shaded. Often found near springs, seeps or stream banks, and even in desert palm oases. It is hardy to zone 7 and grows to 20-70 centimeters tall (8-28 inches). The foliage is delicate and lacy featuring dark stipes that accentuate the green leaves. Like most ferns, it forms a clump that will gradually grow in size if it has room. It may become summer dormant if it gets too much sun or not enough water, but it should come back when favorable conditions return. Easily obscured by other plants, put it where you can see it. It is commonly grown as a houseplant."
