Fern, Bird's Nest

Scientific Name: Asplenium nidus
Common Name: Bird's Nest Fern

The tradition of ferns as houseplants gained popularity in the mid- to late-1840's when wealthy homeowners would decorate their homes with them. Since then, ferns have become far more accessible and are very popular additions to indoor plant collections around the world. Ferns can give your indoor (and outdoor) space a touch of tropical or evergreen forest vibes. An added bonus is that nearly all ferns are fairly low maintenance and thrive in a variety of conditions. 

The Bird's Nest Fern has long, elegant bright green leaves that have ripply edges when they are in sufficient lighting conditions. The leaves grow up and out from a central rosette - hence the Bird's Nest name. 

Basic Care Notes: Low to medium indirect light, keep evenly moist but not saturated. Ferns prefer humidity, but don't want to be soaking wet, either. Think forest floor-conditions, dappled lighting, natural humidity.
