Bird’s Nest Fern

With its bright green, rippled fronds unfurling from a central rosette, Bird’s Nest Fern brings a fresh, tropical softness to any space. Unlike traditional ferns with feathery foliage, this one has broad, glossy leaves that arch outward in a tidy nest shape—clean, sculptural, and surprisingly easy once you understand what it likes.

Ferns

Ferns are classic foliage houseplants known for their lush texture and love of humidity. While some varieties can be a bit particular, many adapt beautifully to indoor conditions when kept evenly moist and away from dry air or harsh sun. Consistency is key—steady light, steady watering, steady warmth.

Caring for Bird’s Nest Fern

 Light Needs

Bright, indirect light is ideal. It will tolerate moderate light, but avoid direct sun, which can scorch the fronds and dull that vibrant green colour.

 Watering

Keep the soil consistently lightly moist, allowing only the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Water around the soil surface rather than directly into the centre “nest” to prevent rot.

 Feeding

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth naturally slows.
