Bird's nest fern, also known as Asplenium nidus, is a lush and tropical stunner that's sure to make a statement in your home or garden. This houseplant-ready fern is named after its unique rosette shape, which resembles a bird's nest. Bird's nest fern boasts large, glossy, undivided fronds that emerge from the center of the plant and cascade gracefully outward, creating a lush and full appearance. The fronds can reach up to 3 feet in length and are a vibrant shade of green, with a slightly wavy texture. This fern is an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor spaces, adding a touch of natural beauty and a tropical vibe to any setting. Indoors, the bird's nest fern can be featured as a focal piece on a coffee table or sideboard or hung from a plant hanger to create a dramatic effect. Outdoors in frost-free areas, it can be planted in a shaded spot on a patio or balcony or nestled among other tropical plants in a garden bed. Your bird's nest fern will arrive fully rooted in a 1-gallon pot. The fern prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist. It is important to avoid overwatering or letting the soil dry out completely, as this can cause the fronds to wilt and brown. It enjoys humid conditions.
