Native to the tropics, in temperate regions the Delta maidenhair fern, Adiantum raddianum 'Kensington Gem', makes a gorgeous, leafy houseplant. Each frond bears small, delicate leaves held on contrasting black stems.

For best results grow Adiantum raddianum 'Kensington Gem' in a bright spot indoors out of direct sunlight, in moist, well-drained soil. It thrives in high humidity, so a bright, steamy bathroom or kitchen is the ideal spot for it. Low humidity will result in the leaf tips turning brown. Find our more in our Adiantum care guide.
