Adiantum pedatum

Fertilization Adiantum pedatum : During autumn we should fertilize less often, only every 30-40 days; as the days get shorter our plants need less fertilizer.

continental : We can grow the The Adiantum pedatum in a place where it can receive a few hours a day of direct sunlight, but where it is protected from the sun during most of the day.
In autumn these plants are grown in the garden; they can tolerate temperatures a few degrees below zero without problems.

alpine : Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it can receive a few hous of direct solar light.
Autumn temperatures are easily tolerated by the The Adiantum pedatum which usually doesn’t get damaged by short freezing; if the temperatures should go below -5°C, let’s protect our plant with a non-woven fabric.

mediterranean : We suggest a pretty sheltered location, so that the plant can receive direct solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day.
The Adiantum pedatum can stand temperatures a few degrees under zero, therefore they can be usually cultivated as garden plants.

continental : We suggest quite frequent and regular watering, in the matter of 2-3 glasses of water, but without exceeding; we should always remember to wait for the soil to dry completely between one watering and another; usually we should water every 1-2 weeks.

alpine : In this period of the year we must water only when the soil is perfectly dry, using 1-2 glasses of water; usually watering every 2-3 weeks can be enough.

mediterranean : During the autumn months these plants don’t need too much watering; we should remember anyhow to act regularly with 3-4 glasses of water, when the soil is clearly dry. Typically watering is done every 0-1 weeks.

Treatments Adiantum pedatum : During the cold months many pathogens spend the winter in the ground, at the feet of our plants; let’s treat the plants struck by black spot disease or by leaf curl disease with particular attention by applying a wide-range anticryptogamic treatment, to vaporize even on the ground. Let’s gather and destroy the leaves of the sick plants.
