Adiantum Peruvianum

 

Silver Dollar Fern

Cousin to the black-stemmed Maidenhair Fern, the Silver Dollar Fern gets its name for the generous size of its leaves, which emerge round and blush pink before maturing to green on graceful arching fronds. Prefers bright indirect light and high humidity; water when top inch of soil is dry and fertilise once a month with fertiliser at half strength.
