Quite some time i'm searching for an Adiantum 🙂 and actualy the one that stays about the smallest. That would be the Adiantum capillus-veneris, seems to be extremely wide spread over the world, mainly (sub)tropics and likes to grow epiphytic in river splash zones on rocks etc. Adding all this it would be the most perfect maidenhair for what we all plan to do with it, grow it above an open top tank...
But it seems also extremely hard to obtain in the trade. Does anybody know why that is? Since it is so readily available in the softer climates i bet there must be people growing this little fern at home or in the garden. 🙂
For me in the temporate region i can only find the common and bigger Maidenhair ferns and i actualy find them a tad to big for what i want. I only could find spores from the capillus-veneris at Ebay.. I ordered me a bag, still a surprise what and how it will turn out.
Very curious why this one is so hard to find?
