Adiantum 'Lady Moxam'

• Native to tropical and subtropical regions, this maidenhair fern belongs to the ancient Adiantum genus known for delicate, water-repelling fronds.
• Features distinctive fan-shaped leaflets on thin black stems that create an airy, ethereal appearance unlike any other houseplant.
• Grows in a compact, arching habit reaching 30-40cm tall and wide, making it perfect for tabletops and hanging baskets.
• Beloved by plant enthusiasts for its graceful movement and ability to soften harsh interior lines with natural elegance.

• Water 2-3 times weekly during spring and summer, reducing to weekly in winter when soil surface feels dry to touch.
• Place in bright, indirect light avoiding direct sun exposure which burns delicate fronds and causes browning.
• Plant in well-draining potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for optimal root health and moisture retention.
• Feed monthly with diluted liquid fertiliser during growing season from spring through early autumn for healthy growth.
• Remove brown or damaged fronds at soil level using clean scissors to encourage fresh growth and maintain appearance.
• Maintain 50-60% humidity using pebble trays, humidifiers, or grouping with other moisture-loving plants.
• Protect from temperatures below 15°C and sudden temperature changes that stress the plant and cause leaf drop.

• Provide bright, indirect light near an east-facing window or in filtered outdoor shade - avoid direct sunlight which scorches delicate fronds.
• Water when top inch of soil feels dry, maintaining consistent moisture without waterlogging during active growing seasons.
• Maintain humidity levels above 50% using humidity trays, grouping with other plants, or regular misting around the plant.
• Keep temperatures between 18-24°C year-round and protect from cold drafts and air conditioning vents.
• Reduce watering frequency in winter when growth slows and indoor heating reduces natural humidity levels.

• Aphids and scale insects can attack new growth - treat with neem oil spray or insecticidal soap weekly until cleared.
• Brown, crispy fronds indicate low humidity or overwatering - increase humidity with a pebble tray and check soil moisture before watering.
• Root rot develops in waterlogged soil - ensure excellent drainage and reduce watering frequency during cooler months.
• Spider mites appear in dry conditions - mist regularly and wipe leaves with damp cloth to prevent infestations.
