Adiantum raddianum ‘Fragrans’ - Delta Maidenhair Fern

Adiantum raddianum ‘Fragrans’, also known as the Delta Maidenhair Fern, is a delicate beauty with soft, fan-shaped fronds on wiry black stems. Its airy foliage gives it an elegant, lace-like look that instantly softens any space. Despite its fragile appearance, it’s tougher than it looks when given the right conditions.

Plant Care

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or dappled shade. Avoid direct sun, which will scorch its fronds.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. This fern will tell you quickly if it dries out, so water little and often.

Temperature: Thrives between 18–24°C, and should be kept above 15°C. Protect from draughts and sudden temperature drops.

Potting: Loves Thirst Trap mix, which holds moisture while still allowing gentle drainage.

Hot tips: High humidity is key — group with other plants, place on a pebble tray or great in a steamy shower or terrarium. Trim any dried fronds to encourage fresh growth.

Pet Friendly: YES
