The
Maidenhair fern, like all ferns, requires partial to full
shade and consistently moist soil. The Maidenhair fern will
grow to a height of one to two feet and similar size in width.
Maidenhair ferns are typically grown in shady gardens, or
in hanging baskets indoors.
The Maidenhair
fern is naturally grown in wet tropics, where it can be found
in moist open sites along riverbanks. This fern is fairly
easy to care for, needing only decent shade and well-drained
soil that is moist to thrive. Maidenhair ferns propagate best
by division.
