4″ Maidenhair Fritz Luthii

The Maidenhair Fern emits a lovely fragrance, and provides delicate, cascading foliage to rooms, gardens and balconies as a standing or hanging plant. These plants have a reputation for being divas, but under the right growing conditions they are surprisingly easy to care for  and create an arching mound of fun, delightful green leaves. 

Water: Never let the soil of a maidenhair completely dry out. Drainage is also essential. Since the soil will be constantly wet, root rot is never far away. Mist regularly.

Sunlight: Bright, indirect light. Will tolerate lower light, but may become leggy and fronds may yellow. Prefers morning and evening sun, but direct sun will lead to scorching.

Placement: Place in a location that gets indirect morning or afternoon sun, such as a northern window, with no drafts and higher humidity, such as the kitchen or bathroom. 

Food: Less is more. Fertilize quarterly using half-strength liquid fertilizer while watering.

Pets: Non-toxic to pets.
