With such bright and delicate fronds, The Maidenhair Fern is absolutely worth the extra effort! This diva prefers moist soil, low light and humid conditions but the extra TLC will pay off quick!
Native to Africa, southern Asia through to northern Australia, with two species in tropical Central America.
Maidenhair fern is the source of a pleasantly aromatic volatile oil long used as a rinse or shampoo that rendered black hair very shiny, hence the name Maidenhair. The tough, water-repellent, shiny black stems were used by Native American peoples in basketweaving. The genus name means "repels water," for indeed raindrops weigh down the fronds & drop onto the ground leaving the fronds nearly dry.
