This 'Bird's Nest Fern' is an easy and attractive fern to keep in your home or work space, requiring little maintenance beyond a shaded spot and regular watering. Found in the wild in China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan, often on cliffs and tree trunks or in forests.Asplenium antiquum has a single shuttlecock rosette of glossy apple-green fronds erupting from a dark hairy middle. Older hardened leaves can be wiped with a damp cloth to keep them looking good.
Keep the soil evenly moist but not wet. Avoid overwatering such as drying out. Spraying or showering the leaves frees them from dust.The soil may dry up to a maximum of 80 % of the pots height between the waterings.
Bright to light shaded spots with some morning or evening sun. Hot summer afternoon sun will be tolerated if the pot is placed at least 1 meter behind the window.
From spring to fall a half diluted standard liquid fertilizer can be given every 4th to 8th week. New bought or recently repotted Bird’s Nest Fern don’t have to be fed for the first year.
Peat free mixes for container plants, vegetables or herbs can be used. Either pure or loosened with some orchid bark.
