Birds Nest Fern

The Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus) is a unique and attractive plant, perfect for bioactive enclosures. Its large, leathery fronds form a distinctive rosette, resembling a bird’s nest, adding a dramatic touch to any vivarium or terrarium. This fern thrives in humid, low-light environments, making it an ideal addition to tropical setups, where it helps maintain humidity and provides shelter for reptiles and amphibians.

Quick Care Guide:

• Lighting: Prefers bright, indirect light; can tolerate low light but grows best with moderate light exposure.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60-80%)—misting regularly helps maintain moisture.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
• Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C).
• Soil: Well-draining, organic-rich soil is best for healthy growth.
• Maintenance: Remove dead fronds and clean leaves occasionally to prevent dust buildup.

The Bird's Nest Fern is a low-maintenance plant that enhances the beauty and functionality of any bioactive setup, offering cover and contributing to a healthy ecosystem.
