BIRD’S NEST FERN

Bird’s nest ferns (Asplenium nidus) are epiphytic ferns, meaning they grow on the surface of other plants in their rainforest habitat. These ferns have long, erect bright green fronds that grow from a central rosette. Unlike some other ferns, which grow feathery leaflets, bird’s nest ferns have smooth, lance-shaped fronds that sometimes develop gentle ripples when grown with sufficient light. Bird’s nest ferns prefer medium to bright indirect light, high humidity, and moist, well-drained soil. Because they thrive in warm, humid environments, these ferns make an excellent choice for a bathroom.
