Bird's Nest Fern - 5" Pot

Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus) is an epiphytic tropical fern forming a striking rosette of broad, apple-green fronds that emerge from a central, nest-like crown. The glossy, undivided leaves have wavy margins and a prominent dark midrib, giving a bold, architectural look unlike the lacy texture of most ferns. Native to Southeast Asia's rainforests, it grows naturally on tree trunks and rocks. It is one of the easiest ferns to keep indoors, tolerating lower light and average humidity better than its delicate cousins. Compact and clean-foliaged, it suits shaded balconies, bathrooms and living spaces across India.

Uses

A bold foliage accent for shaded indoor corners, bathrooms and balcony gardens. Works well as a standalone statement plant or in tropical groupings.

Growing tips

In Indian homes water around the edges of the rosette rather than into the central crown to prevent rot, and shield it from hot direct sun and dry AC air.
