Asplenium trichomanes is a small, widespread fern , famous for its robustness and its ability to grow on mineral substrates. Nicknamed Maidenhair Fern , it is naturally saxicolous (growing on rocks, low walls, cracks).
Its foliage is fine, cut, and evergreen to semi-evergreen (depending on the climate), characterized by small green pinnae (leaflets) carried by a thin, shiny black rachis, reminiscent of hair.
Extremely hardy and tolerant of temporary drought, it is ideal for rockeries, shady walls, or small pots and terrariums requiring little maintenance .

Shade to Partial Shade (Filtered Light). It hates direct sunlight, which causes the fronds to yellow and burn. In a low wall or rockery, it always looks for cracks facing north or east.
Evergreen to Semi-evergreen. Retains its foliage year-round, but older fronds may dry out in late winter.
Moderate. Unlike many ferns, it is drought tolerant once well established, especially outdoors.
Keep the soil moist, but allow the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Drainage is essential.
Exceptional (Up to -20 to -30°C). It is a temperate climate garden plant, very resistant to frost.
Very well-drained and mineral. It thrives in a poor, sandy, stony substrate, often mixed with limestone or mortar. For growing in pots or terrariums, use a special fern mix to ensure maximum drainage.
Low to Moderate. It does not require very high humidity, but appreciates a cool ambient atmosphere and should not be placed near a heat source.
Very Low or None. Applying special quality fern fertilizer 6 times a year from spring to summer is sufficient outdoors.
Rockery, dry stone walls, cracks, dry and shaded undergrowth, or in mini-pots for closed or open terrariums (with good drainage).
