Five Fingered Maidenhair Fern (Adiantum pedatum 'Imbricatum')
In this Soto Masterclass we explain the main characteristics of the Five Fingered Maidenhair Fern, otherwise known as Adiantum pedatum 'Imbricatum'.
The Five Fingered Maidenhair Fern likes to be in moist shade. Soto love the fern for its interesting texture and movement.
In this guide, Max demonstrates how to care for the fern throughout the year. Cut the fern all the way back in autumn with secateurs and then in spring, add compost around its base. During later spring and summer, cut away any dead growth that appears.
