Asplenium nidus

The Asplenium nidus is an epiphytic species known as the Bird’s nest fern that roots itself to trees in it’s natural habitat and warmer climates.

From the range of ferns that can be grown indoors this plant has larger leaflets than most and gives that large full leaf foliage plant appearance.

Care:

• Bright light without direct sunlight should be provided.
• However, providing some direct sunlight is great for the Bird’s nest fern to grow well, but you need to only provide some morning or a small amount of pre-sunset.
• The fronds can become pale or have scorch marks on them if the sun is too hot.
• During the winter the sun is much less harmful to the plant.
• This is a species that loves it’s soil to remain moist at all times, but not soggy.
• Water around the edge of the center rosette to avoid the water becoming stagnant in the center, which may cause rot.
• From April – September feed the plant with a weak diluted fertilizer every 2 weeks to encourage new growth and healthy looking leaves.
• Humidity may need to be improved if it becomes low and the plant is showing signs of being affected by dry air.
• You can improve the humidity by standing the plant in a humidity tray, a tray of peat moss or use an electronic humidifier.
