Venus hates her soil getting too dry so make sure you keep her well-watered whilst not allowing her to sit in water for extended periods of time as this will encourage root rot.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Looking after this plant</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>You want to aim to keep Venus' soil moist between March-October by giving her a good soak 1-2 times per week. Between November-February reduce her watering to once every 7-10 days, allowing the maidenhair fern's first few inches of soil to dry out between waterings. It's best to mist every other day,rather than water too often, to keep humidity up.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>You can also increase the humidity near your plant by standing it on a water-filled pebble tray, or you can watch Venus thrive in a closed terrarium environment or under a glass cloche.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>To help promote healthy new growth in the growing season between April-September, we recommend applying this <a href=https://www.patchplants.com/"https://patch.garden/product/plant-feed-61//">liquid fertilizer</a> monthly at half strength.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Living with pets and children</h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Venus, the maidenhair fern, is a perfectly safe house plant for cats, dogs and children - cats even love to nibble her small leaves.</p>\r\n\r\n<h2> </h2>","attributes":{"air-purifying":{"name":"Yes","order":0,"icon":null},"artificially-dwarfed":{"name":"No bonsai","order":0,"icon":null},"care-level":{"name":"Needs some love","order":0,"icon":null},"transito":{"name":"No T1","order":0,"icon":null},"wind-requirements":{"name":"Can't handle wind","order":3,"icon":"#icon-filter-wind-no"},"safety":{"name":"Child and Pet Safe","order":1,"icon":null}},"pot_selector":true,"is_bundle":false,"is_shipping_required":true,"variants":[{"pk":142,"sku":"PLANT-1-016-001","label":"30-40cm","is_in_stock":true,"is_archived":false,"is_default_variant":false,"pot_selector_description":null,"pot_selector_name":null,"is_bundle":false,"price":10.0,"currency":"GBP","display":{"html":"£10.00","plain":"£10.00"},"attributes":{"plant-height-exact-cm":{"name":"30-40","order":30,"icon":null},"plant-height":{"name":"Small / 15-50cm","order":2,"icon":"#icon-filter-height-small"}},"container_requirement":2,"nursery_pot":5,"addon_associations":[],"fits_pots":"12.5-15cm","name":"Venus -

As with most ferns, she likes moist conditions. Check her frequently and water her if the top inch of soil is dry.
She’s happy enough in light shade, but loves bright, soft light. Harsh sun will scorch her delicate leaves.
She loves moist air, so she’ll be very happy living in a bathroom. If that’s not possible, mist her every other day.

For more care advice about Venus, check out our complete guide to maidenhair fern care.
Known as maidenhair fern or Venus hair fern for the way its delicate long leaves gently waft in the breeze, this plant is native to tropical regions around the world. It makes a very soft and elegant houseplant.
It’s used to growing on rocks around waterfalls, which means it likes a large amount of moisture. It likes its soil gently moist and lots of humidity in the air. It’s a fantastic plant for a bathroom, where it can enjoy the regular steam. If it can’t live in the bathroom, mist it as often as you can. It will also thank you if you feed it with liquid fertiliser once a month in spring and summer.
If you notice brown leaves at the bottom of the plant, don’t worry. New growth appears from the centre of the plant and old, lower leaves die off to make room. It’s just part of the plant’s life cycle. Any brown leaves can be carefully trimmed off.
Because of its delicate nature and higher demands, we’d recommend this to more experienced growers. It’s not too difficult to care for, but it needs daily attention. It likes to be pampered a bit, but it’s worth it.
Did you know?
The scientific name comes from the Greek word ‘adiantos’, meaning ‘unwetted’, because water rolls off the leaves.
