Origin
The Adiantum hispidulum ‘Bronze Venus’, also known as the Rosy Maidenhair Fern, is a type of fern native to Australia. It can be found in both subtropical and temperate regions and is often found in the shady undergrowth of forests, where it prefers moist, well-drained soils.

Characteristics
The Adiantum hispidulum ‘Bronze Venus’ distinguishes itself with its delicate, waved leaves which are carried on elegant, arch-shaped stems. The young fronds have a distinct bronze hue, while the older fronds turn a fresh green, offering a beautiful contrast. The plant can reach a height and width of approximately 60 cm. The ‘Bronze Venus’ is semi-hardy and has a slow to moderate growth rate.

Care
Caring for the Adiantum hispidulum ‘Bronze Venus’ requires attention to replicate the optimal conditions under which it grows in nature. It requires a bright, but indirect lighting to prevent burning of leaves. This fern likes moist soil, but not overwatering, thus a well-draining soil is essential. The ‘Bronze Venus’ thrives best at a humidity of 50% or higher, therefore regularly spritzing the plant can be particularly beneficial.
