Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Adiantum macrophyllum is a large-leaf, tropical maidenhair fern that displays new fronds that are peach-pink in color. Arching fronds mature to a deep green color. Grows with a clump habit suitable for large pots. Ferns thrive in neutral to acidic, loose, richly organic soil which is moist but not waterlogged. Prefers bright, filtered sunlight and is excellent as a houseplant or in a seasonal container in a consistently humid space, such as a greenhouse.
