Bring a fresh green focal point to a shelf or bright bathroom with Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus). Broad, strap-shaped, gently rippled bright-green fronds unfurl from a central rosette, creating a sculptural nest-like shape. New fronds emerge from the center as the fern grows.  

Points of interest and size

Care guide

  • Light: Bright indirect or filtered light suits its fronds. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
  • Water: Keep the potting mix lightly and evenly moist, not waterlogged. Water the soil around the rosette as the upper layer starts to dry; avoid pouring water into the central crown, and let excess drain away. Avoid letting the root ball dry completely. Reduce frequency in cooler, dimmer months.
  • Soil: Use a loose, moisture-retentive but well-draining fern or indoor potting mix with perlite or fine bark in a container with drainage holes. Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately; amend with perlite or fine bark as needed for aeration.
  • Temperature and humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps fronds stay lush. A bright bathroom may work well; keep warm and away from cold drafts and drying vents.
  • Feeding: Feed sparingly during active growth, only where fertilizer label directions support fern use. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Follow label directions, keeping granules away from the central crown. Avoid overfeeding; reduce or pause feeding during winter or inactivity and extreme heat or cold. Avoid feeding stressed or newly repotted plants.
  • Pruning: Trim fully brown or damaged fronds at the base with clean scissors. Avoid cutting into the central growing crown; new fronds arise there.
  • Repotting: Check roots every 1–2 years. If crowded, move up one pot size in spring with fresh draining mix, keeping the crown above the soil surface rather than burying it.
  • Propagation: Bird’s Nest Fern does not usually divide into offsets or root from leaf cuttings. It reproduces by spores on mature fronds, a slow process best left to experienced growers.
