Asplenium nidus – Bird’s-Nest Fern (Nidus Form)
A lush, architectural fern known for its wide, wavy fronds that unfurl from a tight central rosette resembling a nest. Asplenium nidus brings a clean, tropical look to indoor spaces, with shiny, bright green leaves that add freshness and movement to any room. Its tidy, vase-like growth habit makes it perfect for shelves, plant stands, and bathrooms where humidity is naturally higher.
Unlike many ferns with delicate, divided fronds, the Bird’s-Nest Fern has thick, leathery leaves that make it more resilient and easier to maintain. It thrives with consistent moisture, indirect light, and a stable environment.
Care Requirements
• Light: Prefers bright to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the fronds.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist. Water when the top layer feels slightly dry, but never allow it to fully dry out.
• Humidity: Enjoys high humidity and performs well in kitchens and bathrooms.
• Growth Habit: A central nest-like rosette with broad, glossy fronds that rise outward in an elegant, fountain-like shape.
Pet Safety
Bird’s-Nest Ferns are non-toxic to pets and safe for homes with cats and dogs.
