Many amateur flower growers know a plant called "Venus of Hair", but few know that it's correct to call it an adianum, and the Venus of hair is one of the types of the adianum. The plant has a very attractive appearance, and with proper care it pleases its owner with lush green foliage.
How to care for an idiot?
For a flower, you should choose a low-lighted window sill, preferably on the north or east side, because this plant belongs to the shade-loving and does not tolerate direct sunlight. If the conditions of detention are unsuitable, then the plant reacts immediately - the foliage turns yellow and dries. The air temperature should also be low. Although some species live well in the summer in the fresh air.
A few more enemies of the adiantum - drafts, a flurry of dust on the leaves and smoky air. It is extremely undesirable to plant the plant in the kitchen, where the products of combustion of gas constantly flow in the air. The Adianum will not tolerate movements and rearrangements - this plant likes to be alone, otherwise the foliage will turn yellow and fall off.
The plant reacts well to daily water spraying at room temperature. Watering should be regular and even. Filling the plant, as well as drying out the earthen coma, can lead to the death of the roots, especially in the winter. Surplus moisture at low ambient temperatures contribute to the development of mold on the surface of the soil.

For experimenters, the method of propagation by spores will do. For this, dry spores are scraped off the leaves and plated in a shallow container. Continuous maintenance of the level
