Rough maidenhair fern generally resists disease well and has relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult because it requires a moist environment and frequent watering. However, the roots are susceptible to rotting if overwatered and if the environment is not well-ventilated. Rough maidenhair fern is suitable for people with some growing experience, as most people can keep it alive for a certain period. However, it may struggle to thrive, and its leaves can dry out and become less healthy over time.
How to keep Adiantum Scabrum.
Light
Rough maidenhair fern does well with partial sunlight but can also cope in areas with less light. In its natural habitat it usually encounters varying light conditions, which gives it strong adaptability. Still, either too little or too much sunlight can negatively affect its growth and overall health.
Temperature
Rough maidenhair fern is adapted to a native growth environment with temperatures ranging from 59 to 95 °F (15 to 35 °C). It prefers areas with moderate temperatures to thrive. Seasonal adjustments are seldom required.
