Japanese Bird's Nest Fern

Pot Size 12cm 

Japanese Bird’s Nest Fern – Asplenium antiquum 🌿🌀

The Japanese Bird’s Nest Fern is an elegant, structural plant with arching, glossy green fronds that form a tidy rosette, resembling a bird’s nest. Unlike traditional ferns, its foliage is thick and leathery, making it more resilient and a perfect choice for low-light interiors or steamy bathrooms.

Key Features:

✔ Distinctive upright, nest-like shape
✔ Wavy, sword-like fronds for a modern, tropical feel
✔ Low-maintenance and great for beginners
✔ Ideal for indoor pots or bathrooms
✔ Air-purifying and pet-friendly

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers indirect or filtered light – avoid harsh sun

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but never soggy – water when the top feels slightly dry

• Humidity: Loves high humidity – mist regularly or place in a humid room

• Soil: Use a rich, well-draining fern or houseplant mix

• Feeding: Feed monthly during the growing season with a diluted, balanced fertiliser

• Temperature: Thrives between 18–24°C – protect from drafts and cold windows

🌿 Tip: Avoid watering directly into the central "nest" – water the soil around the base to prevent rot.
