There are countless varieties of maidenhair ferns and they therefore offer the perfect match for every need and taste of a plant lover. Originally native to tropical rain regions, it now feels comfortable in Europe both in balcony boxes or pots and in flower bed, although not all varieties are winterproof.

The maidenhair fern loves the morning and evening sun, while it will quickly show brown leaves when it is exposed to the bright midday sun. It feels most comfortable in a half-shady place outside, also in the shelter of trees. It receives the same light intensity from all sides so it can grow evenly.
