About the Asplenium Nidus

Asplenium nidus, the bird’s nest fern, unfolds glossy, apple‑green fronds from a central cup, bringing forest calm to the workday. Nina thrives in bright, indirect to half‑shade light, steady warmth, and evenly moist, moisture‑retaining mix—never waterlogged.

Water with room‑temperature water when the surface just dries, pouring around the rosette, not into it. Gentle humidity keeps edges smooth; a pebble tray works well. We ship her secure so she arrives fresh and intact—ready to sit on a shelf or stand where her fronds can arc gracefully.

Did you know?

New fronds unfurl as tight fiddleheads from the nest; avoid touching the tender rolls. Unlike many ferns, she tolerates typical indoor air—add humidity in winter and she’ll reward you with flawless fronds.

Why the home office?

This plant is perfect for the home office because it brings instant calm and forest texture with minimal effort. Her glossy rosette softens screens while freshening the air. Pet‑safe, soothing, and sculptural—Nina was made for focus.

Position: Tabletop

Place Nina on a Tabletop or stand near bright, indirect light, a step back from windows. Give room for fronds to arch and keep her away from radiators and AC. Boost humidity with a pebble tray; water around the crown only. Rotate monthly for balance. Pet friendly, so perfect for calm, lived‑in offices that need a gentle green focal point.

Growth Habit: Rosette

Stems that fan out from a central point.

Plant Care

Soil: Moisture-Retaining

Choose a moisture‑retaining, airy mix so roots stay hydrated yet breathing. Use premium potting soil with coco coir and compost, plus perlite and fine bark for flow. Avoid dense, waterlogged blends. Water through, then reset—damp, never dense. This structure supports flawless fronds and steady growth under indoor light year‑round.

Propagation: Repotting

Asplenium is best raised from spores under controlled conditions; dividing the single crown is damaging. For home growers, focus on repotting and care rather than propagation; specialist spore sowing yields success.

Low

Bright, indirect to half‑shade suits her; avoid harsh rays. Water when the surface just dries, then drain. Rotate monthly for balance. Lower light slows growth but keeps that deep forest tone indoors.

High

Give high watering: keep soil evenly moist, never soggy. Water when the surface just dries, around the crown, then drain thoroughly. Increase humidity in winter to prevent crisping tips and edges.

Green Thumb

Bright, indirect to half‑shade, moisture‑retaining mix, and even moisture keep Nina pristine. Avoid crown watering, drafts, and harsh sun; add humidity in winter for crisp, glossy fronds.

High

Nina prefers high, steady humidity. Keep her away from heaters and AC; use a pebble tray or humidifier. Ensure airflow and water around—not into—the crown to keep fronds flawless and edges smooth.

Toxicity

Pet Friendly: Perfectly safe for pets (and their owners).
