Pests Adiantum venustum : For a luxuriant growth it is advisable to grow the acidophil plants in a low ph level soil; a too much basic soil causes the emerging of ferric chlorosis, with an evident yellowing of the foliage; in this case we suggest to use greening fertilizers containing iron. During the first week of spring apply at least one pesticide treatment, against the aphids; we suggest also a copper and sulphur anti-fungal treatment
