Maidenhair fern (Adiantum) is a delicate, graceful plant known for its thin, black stems and fan-shaped, light green leaves. Native to tropical and temperate regions, it thrives in humid environments and is often found near waterfalls, moist woodlands, and shaded garden areas.

This fern is popular as an ornamental houseplant due to its elegant appearance, but it also has traditional medicinal uses. In herbal medicine, maidenhair fern has been used to treat respiratory issues, soothe coughs, and promote hair health. Its unique, airy fronds make it a favorite for indoor decor, where it requires high humidity and indirect light to thrive.
