🌿 Asplenium nidus – Care Guide

Commonly known as the Bird’s Nest Fern, Asplenium nidus is a lush, tropical houseplant loved for its broad, wavy-edged fronds that radiate from a central rosette. Unlike finely divided ferns, its bold, architectural leaves create a modern, sculptural statement. Native to rainforests, it thrives in warm, humid environments with indirect light—making it perfect for homes, bathrooms, and shaded patios.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Prefers bright, indirect light

• Tolerates medium to low light, but avoid direct sun (can burn fronds)

• Ideal near east- or north-facing windows

💧 Watering

• Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy

• Water when the top inch of soil feels dry

• Never pour water directly into the center rosette – it may rot

• High humidity is key – mist regularly or use a pebble tray

🌱 Soil & Potting

• Use rich, well-draining soil with good moisture retention

• A mix of peat, coco coir, orchid bark, and perlite is ideal

• Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and support root health

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Thrives in 18–28°C (65–82°F)

• Avoid cold drafts and dry air (especially from ACs or heaters)

• Humidity: 50–80% is ideal

🍃 Fertilizing

• Feed once a month during the growing season with a diluted liquid fertilizer

• Do not overfeed – fronds are sensitive to buildup

• No fertilizing needed in winter

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove yellow or damaged fronds at the base

• Keep leaves clean with a gentle wipe using a damp cloth

• Avoid leaf polish or harsh cleaners

✅ Ideal For

• Bathrooms, shaded corners, tropical displays, terrariums

• Great for beginner plant parents

• Combines well with calatheas, philodendrons, and peace lilies

⚠️ Pet Safety
