Asplenium nidus (Birdsnest Fern) intermediates Prune as required once fruitingOne of the easiest care classic tropical foliage ferns, with bright green, slightly wavy, glossy leaves. Its name originates from the way it grows new leaves from the centre of the plant, in a circular, birds nest fashion. This plant thrives with a little humidity, so would suit a regular misting. Water only sparingly in winter, though regularly during the growing seasons (spring autumn) to ensure the soil doesnt dry out.
