Adiantum raddianum – My Terrarium Just Leveled Up!

I have to brag for a second — I just added Adiantum raddianum, the Maidenhair Fern, to my terrarium, and wow… it’s honestly worth every bit of space it takes up. Those delicate, lacy fronds look like tiny green fans, weaving their way into every corner and instantly giving the whole setup a soft, tropical vibe.

• The fronds are so airy and graceful — they create this elegant, layered effect that makes your terrarium feel like a lush, miniature jungle.

• Humidity lover: This fern thrives in high humidity, so it feels right at home in a closed terrarium. Mist it lightly and watch it perk up instantly.

• Pet- and reptile-safe: Totally non-toxic, so your little geckos, frogs, or other terrarium buddies can safely share the space without worry.

• Light: Loves bright, indirect light — not too much sun, or the fronds get scorched.

• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist. It’s a moisture enthusiast, and dry soil = sad fronds.

• Temperature: Happy in normal indoor temps around 18–25°C.

Honestly, adding the Maidenhair Fern makes the terrarium feel alive in a new way. Those soft, arching fronds move with every little breeze or misting session, giving the space a magical, almost fairy-tale quality. I can already tell this is going to be one of the stars of my mini jungle.
