Sadleria cyatheoides, commonly known as ʻamaʻumaʻu fern or ʻamaʻu, is a fern species in the family Blechnaceae.
The Amaumau fern typically has strong disease resistance and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult because it needs a consistently moist environment and frequent watering. However, the roots are susceptible to rot if they are overwatered or if the surroundings lack adequate ventilation. The Amaumau fern is best suited to growers with some experience, since most people can keep it alive only for a limited time. Still, the fern may struggle to thrive, and its leaves can dry out and decline in health over time.
