Bird's Nest Fern Bio

Native to the South American rainforests, the wild Bird’s Nest Fern is an epiphyte, often growing on the trunks of trees, particularly palm trees. With its bright green, wavy fronds, it sprouts in the shape of eggs, forming a rosette that resembles a delicate, well-crafted bird’s nest.

Light Instructions

Bird’s Nest Fern grows best in a space with bright indirect light, where the sun rays are diffused, and can also adapt to spaces with bright direct light, where the sunlight streams inside directly. Avoid placing it in spaces with low light or spaces without natural sunlight.

Bird's Nest Fern Care
During your Bird’s Nest Fern’s first few days at home, one or two leaves might fall, or turn yellow. This is a normal part of adjustment and no cause for concern. Once adjusted, Bird’s Nest Fern is very easy to care for, and will reward your love for it by quickly bouncing back from any mishap. To help it grow optimally and evenly, occasionally dust the leaves and rotate the pot by a ¼ turn once a month.
Frequently Asked Questions

Does bird nest fern need sunlight to grow?

Like most plants, the Bird’s Nest Fern enjoys sun in the amounts it would receive in its natural environment. Place your plant close to a window but ensure your Bird’s Nest Fern doesn’t receive direct sunlight all day. You’ll want to make sure it receives plenty of indirect sunlight for it to grow without becoming scorched.

Should you mist a bird's nest fern?

You may notice your BIrd’s Nest Fern having brown tips to its leaves if it isn’t kept at the right humidity levels. Remember, this plant is native to tropical surroundings. Since our homes are not normally as humid as this plant requires, consider placing your fern on a pebble tray or situating it close to other plants, as grouped plants can elevate surrounding humidity. Another option is to introduce a room humidifier, which is especially beneficial during drier months.
