🌿 Adiantum peruvianum Care Tips

Also known as Silver Dollar Fern or Peruvian Maidenhair Fern, Adiantum peruvianum is a stunning tropical fern characterized by its large, fan-shaped, silvery-green fronds with striking dark stems. Larger and bolder than common maidenhairs, it’s a showy species that thrives in humid, shaded environments.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light or dappled shade.

• Avoid direct sun—too much will scorch the delicate fronds.

• Grows well in bright bathrooms, shaded patios, or under grow lights.

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist—never allow it to completely dry out.

• Water when the top layer begins to dry; use room-temperature, non-chlorinated water if possible.

• Do not water into the crown of the plant directly to prevent rot.

🌱 Soil

• Use a light, well-draining, organic-rich mix.

• A blend of peat moss, perlite, and a bit of compost is ideal.

💦 Humidity

• Requires high humidity (60–80%).

• Use a humidifier, pebble tray, or mist frequently—especially in air-conditioned or heated rooms.

• Dry air will cause browning or shriveling of leaf tips.

🌡️ Temperature

• Thrives in 18–25°C (65–77°F).

• Sensitive to cold—avoid exposure below 12°C (54°F).

• Keep away from cold drafts or heat sources.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Avoid overfeeding—too much can burn the roots and damage fronds.

✂️ Maintenance

• Remove old, dry, or yellowing fronds to encourage healthy new growth.

• Handle gently—fronds are delicate and bruise easily.

⚠️ Sensitive to:

• Low humidity

• Under- or overwatering

• Harsh sunlight

• Sudden environmental changes

Fun Fact:

Unlike many maidenhair ferns, Adiantum peruvianum can grow up to 2 feet tall, making it a dramatic focal point in indoor plant collections or shaded gardens.

With its air of refinement and natural poise, Adiantum peruvianum brings a calm, cascading beauty to floral designs and plant displays alike.
