MAIDEN-HAIR FERN.
If kept continuously in a room, maiden-hair ferns do not thrive. If you want good pot plants, they should be grown in the ordinary greenhouse, and stood in a cool or shady position. When the weather becomes cold the pots should be brought to the light, as this will harden the fronds, and they will stand better through the winter. It is advisable to repot the plants early in the spring. A good compost is fibrous or lumpy loam, with a little leaf mould and sand. If obtainable, a small quantity of peat should be used.
