Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus)

The wavy whimsy of the Asplenium nidus foliage and its low maintenance care profile make this plant a great choice for any plant parent. Perfect for a high humidity area of your home, these plants will thrive in a kitchen or bathroom.

Light: Bird’s nest ferns grow well in filtered sunlight to a moderate amount of shade. Don’t expose them to direct sunlight other than the very early morning sun. Harsh direct sunlight can burn the leaves. Indoors, an east- or north-facing window is ideal.

Watering: The ferns prefer a consistent amount of soil moisture, but they don’t do well sitting in soggy soil. Water whenever the top inch of soil is dry. Avoid watering directly into the center of the plant, as this can encourage mold growth and rot in the dense nest. Aim water at the soil to avoid wetting the fern's fronds.
