Hi, everyone! I found this plant this morning from my backyard. Usually called "suplir" in my country, Indonesia. Suplir is a popular ferns belongs to the Adiantum. The name "suplir" is an adaptation of "chevelure" from French, which means "all the hair on the head", a name introduced by the Dutch during the colonial period. I was move this plant to the pot and hope this is will grow well. Have you ever met this adiantum on your neighbourhood? Hope you have a good day!
