Origin
The Adiantum caudatum is a species of fern that originally occurs in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. The plant is also known as the 'Lace Fern' and has a diversity of species. The growth conditions in these areas vary, allowing the Adiantum caudatum to adapt to different climates and soil types.

Characteristics
Typical of the Adiantum caudatum are the specific leaves, known for their fine, delicate appearance. The leaves grow on thin, black stems which in nature are sometimes curled. They have a characteristic bright green colour and do not lose their green look even during the winter months. In addition, this plant is often smaller than other species of fern and cannot grow taller than approximately 60 centimetres.

Care
The care of the Adiantum caudatum requires some attention. This fern species prefers a slightly moist climate and a place in partial shade. Overwatering or a place that is too wet can lead to root rot of the plant. On the other hand, soil that is too dry can affect the colour and health of the leaves. It is important to regularly fertilise the soil in which the Adiantum caudatum grows for optimal growth conditions.
