Bird's Nest Fern

Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus)

The Bird's Nest Fern is a stunning and relatively low-maintenance houseplant known for its lush, green fronds that emerge from a central rosette, resembling a bird's nest. It's a popular choice for its architectural form and air-purifying qualities.

Plant Care Tips:

• Light: Bird's Nest Ferns prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the fronds. They can also tolerate lower light conditions, but the growth might be slower.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

• Humidity: These ferns thrive in humid environments. Misting the plant regularly or using a pebble tray filled with water can help increase humidity.

• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season (spring and summer).

Light Level:

• Bird's Nest Ferns are best suited for bright, indirect light.

Toxicity:

• Bird's Nest Ferns are considered non-toxic to humans and pets according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). However, it's always best to keep houseplants out of reach of curious children and pets who might nibble on them.
