Asplenium nidus ‘Leslie’ – Bird’s Nest ‘Leslie’ Fern
A striking cultivar of the classic Bird’s Nest Fern, Asplenium ‘Leslie’ is prized for its gracefully arching, deeply wavy fronds that form a full, lush rosette. Its rich green foliage and elegant, fountain-like shape make it a standout accent in any indoor space, from living rooms to offices or bathrooms with higher humidity.
‘Leslie’ is slightly more compact than some Bird’s Nest varieties, making it ideal for tabletops, plant stands, or medium-sized planters. Its thick, leathery fronds are hardy yet visually soft, offering a tropical aesthetic with relatively easy care.
Care Requirements
• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light but avoids direct sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist. Water when the top layer begins to dry, but avoid soggy soil.
• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity.
• Growth Habit: Upright, arching fronds forming a dense, nest-like rosette with a soft, flowing appearance.
Pet Safety
Bird’s Nest Ferns, including the ‘Leslie’ cultivar, are non-toxic to pets and safe for homes with cats and dogs.
