Pacific Maiden fern. (Adiantum raddianum)

One of the nicest looking Maidenhair fern cultivars there is,I think. It looks almost edible it's so lush.

These are often recommended for bathrooms in the UK ... the humid atmosphere suits them apparently.

They love water Shirley. This one's pot is sitting in a saucer of water.

Ooh, very lush. I’m a fern lover myself. This one is a beautiful Maidenhair.

Hello Stan,

I don’t think that’s Pacific Maidenhair fern (Adiantum petatum). It’s a variety of Adiantum tanerum, isn’t it?

No its not the native fern,just the common name of Pacific maid. Even when you google it can be a bit confusing but the Pacific maid with scalloped leaves and black wire stems is the subtropical fern.

It’s strange it looks so much like A. tanerum.

I have two smaller plants in 5 inch pots. They were spores from the mother plant that sowed themselves. So,they breed true.

That’s great! It’s a very full, lush fern.

Your Chamaedorea palms look terrific, also. Are they C. elegans?

They are Home Depot seedlings about 10 or more to the pot after a decade or near it. I meant to divide them up,but never did.

I have several from a pot and divided them more than 20 years ago. They’re all between 3 and 5 ft ft now.
