🌿 Asplenium antiquum ‘Osaka’ – Care Guide

Asplenium antiquum ‘Osaka’, often called Osaka Bird’s Nest Fern, is a stylish and hardy cultivar of the classic bird’s nest fern. It’s admired for its wavy, upright, sword-like fronds arranged in a tidy, symmetrical rosette. More structured and compact than the common Asplenium nidus, ‘Osaka’ adds a sculptural, modern feel to any indoor or shaded space.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Tolerates medium to low light, but avoid harsh sun which may burn the fronds

• Perfect near east- or north-facing windows

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist, but never soggy

• Water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry

• Avoid pouring water directly into the center (the “nest”) to prevent rot

• Appreciates high humidity – mist regularly or use a humidity tray

🌱 Soil & Potting

• Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive mix

• Ideal mix: peat moss, orchid bark, and perlite

• Repot every 1–2 years, or when roots outgrow the pot

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Prefers warm, humid conditions: 18–28°C (65–82°F)

• Protect from cold drafts and avoid air-conditioner blasts

• Humidity: 50% or more for optimal growth

🍃 Fertilizing

• Feed monthly during growing season (spring–early autumn) with diluted liquid fertilizer

• No fertilizer needed in winter

• Avoid direct contact of fertilizer with the fronds

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove old or yellowing fronds at the base to keep the plant looking tidy

• Do not use leaf polish – just gently wipe dust with a damp cloth

• Rotate pot regularly for even growth

✅ Ideal For

• Indoor plant styling, terrariums, bathrooms, and shaded patios

• Looks great in modern, minimalist, or tropical décor themes
