Asplenium Nidus (Japanese Bird's Nest Fern) is a tropical plant native to SE Asia and the Pacific. The "it" plant of this season, editors are raving about this plant for its unusual look and low maintenance. Great for both pets and dimly-lit apartments, this creature will surprise you with its hardiness and new growth from its center eye. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings but be sure to water every week or so to keep the plant happy and healthy. She enjoys a good misting every few days, so beware of overly active heaters or air conditioners as they tend to dry out the air and leave plants begging for moisture.

- Recommend transplanting after 1-2 years into a vessel 1-2 inches larger using regular potting mix.
-
Clean leaves with damp paper towel every 1-2 weeks to aid photosynthesis and stimulate growth. Check leaves and stalks for pests while cleaning. For more information on the importance of cleaning leaves, read our guide here.
-

-
Water thoroughly once every 7 days. We recommend adding clay drainage balls to the bottom of the pot, however avoid overwatering. You can read some fundamental rules of watering here.
