Asplenium antiquum ‘Hurricane’ is a striking fern variety prized for its glossy, bright green fronds that twist and spiral from a central rosette, creating a dramatic, sculptural appearance. A unique form of the classic bird’s nest fern, ‘Hurricane’ adds movement and texture while maintaining a clean, modern look. Its compact, upright growth habit makes it ideal for tabletops, shelves, and low-light living spaces.
Native to tropical regions, this fern thrives in warm, humid environments and brings a lush, rainforest feel indoors without the delicate nature of some traditional ferns.
Care:
Light: Bright, indirect light to medium light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch fronds.
Water: Keep soil consistently lightly moist. Water at the soil level and avoid pouring water directly into the crown.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity. Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, or near a humidifier.
Temperature: 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F.
Soil: Well-draining, moisture-retentive fern or indoor potting mix.
Maintenance: Remove damaged or older fronds at the base as needed.
Pet Safety:
Asplenium antiquum ‘Hurricane’ is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
With its swirling fronds and lush tropical presence, the Hurricane bird’s nest fern is an elegant, low-stress plant that adds natural drama and softness to any indoor space.
