The Bird's Nest Fern. A sculptural fern with bright green, rippled fronds that bring softness and texture to any interior.

Best space & place

Asplenium antiquum thrives in bright, indirect light but will tolerate lower light positions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage. Perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and offices where humidity levels are naturally higher.

When to water & feed

Keep the compost lightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Water around the soil rather than directly into the centre of the rosette, as standing water can cause the crown to rot. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser.

Need to know

Bird's Nest Fern enjoys higher humidity and appreciates occasional misting or placement near other plants. Remove any damaged fronds at the base and gently dust the leaves to keep them looking their best.

Air Purifying Credentials

Asplenium antiquum has been shown to help improve indoor air quality by filtering common airborne pollutants and increasing humidity levels. Its broad, glossy fronds make it a popular choice for creating healthier, more inviting interior spaces.
