**Q: How often should I water my Maidenhair Fern to keep it healthy?**
A: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. In general, water when the top centimetre of soil feels dry to the touch, reducing frequency during the winter months.

**Q: Is the Maidenhair Fern suitable for a terrarium with other plants?**
A: Absolutely! This fern thrives in the humid, stable environment of a terrarium and pairs well with other moisture-loving plants such as mosses and small tropical plants. Just ensure all plants have similar light and water needs.

**Q: Can I keep this fern in a room without much natural light?**
A: The Maidenhair Fern prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate lower light conditions. It’s ideal for rooms with filtered light; however, avoid very dark corners to ensure your fern remains healthy and vibrant.

☀️ Light

The Adiantum Caudatum Maidenhair Fern prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It’s best to shield it from direct sun exposure to prevent scorching its delicate fronds.
