Delta maidenhair fern, with botanical name adiantum raddianum, is one of the most popular ferns for growing indoors.
This fern is native to South America and gets its maidenhair name from its shiny, dark petioles that resemble human hair.
The genus name adiantum is derived from the Greek word "adiantos". This means "not wet" (referring to the leaves).
In the wild, these ferns are found on forest floors, rock crevices, river banks, coastal cliffs, and basalt banks along trails and rivers.
