Asplenium adiantum-nigrum aka Black Maidenhair

Caring for Black Maidenhair is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Black Maidenhair is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Black Spleenwort is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Black Spleenwort Fern with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your Black Maidenhair with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

During the cold period, it is common for Black Maidenhair to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.
