Adiantum fern likes a warm and humid growth environment. It needs sufficient fertilizer during the growth period and does not need to be fertilized during the slow potting period. When you first buy it, it will take some time to adapt to these changes. At this time, you need to provide it with a relatively comfortable environment for slow potting, and give it diffused light. You don't need to pour too much water for the time being, so that the potting soil can maintain the In a humid state, often spray water around it to increase the humidity of the air.

1. Light: It is a shade plant, but it still needs a certain amount of light during the growing season. When you first buy it, because it has not adapted to the new environment, you need to put it in a place with scattered light for maintenance. After it slowly returns to normal growth, you can gradually give it sufficient light. Do not place it directly in the sun, otherwise the leaves will be easily burned, which is not conducive to its recovery.

2. Temperature: It likes a warm environment. The most suitable growth temperature is 15℃-20℃. When you first buy it, you can put it in an environment with a temperature of about 20℃. Maintenance will help it better adapt to the new growing environment. In winter, its temperature needs to be kept above 10°C to ensure that it can survive the winter safely.

At this time, it is necessary to reduce the amount of watering as appropriate to keep the soil slightly moist. most. Under normal circumstances, water can be poured once a day in the morning and evening in summer.

In spring and autumn, water once a day.

Under normal circumstances, thin liquid fertilizer can be applied once a month, and the fertilizer is mostly decomposed liquid fertilizer. It should be noted that when fertilizing, do not let the fertilizer liquid be sprinkled on the leaves to avoid causing leaf rot. Fertilization is not allowed in winter. You can add an appropriate amount of lime, crushed eggshells and other calcium-containing fertilizers to the pot soil.

3. Repotting

When the maidenhair fern is first bought, it generally does not need to be repotted, but it can be repotted every spring and replaced with new loose soil. You can mix 4 parts garden soil, 5 parts humus soil and 1 part river sand to prepare its nutrient soil, or you can mix leaf humus soil, peat soil and river sand in a ratio of 2:2:1. Afterwards, the maidenhair fern that has had its roots pruned can be replanted and maintained.
