Bird’s Nest Fern grows best in a well lit space with bright direct or indirect sunlight, and can adapt to spaces with medium to low light, where the source of light is further away. Avoid placing it in spaces without natural sunlight.

Plant Bio
In its native home of the South American rainforests, the wild Bird’s Nest Fern is an epiphyte - growing on the trunks of trees, with a special love for palm trees. Bird’s Nest Fern wears bright green, wavy fronds. They sprout in the shape of eggs, to make up a fluttering rosette resembling a delicate, well crafted bird’s nest.

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.

Are bird's nest ferns easy to care for?
Yes! Caring for Bird’s Nest Ferns is quite easy— especially with the use of an EasyPlant. With access to indirect sun, routine monthly waterings, and misting for added humidity, your plant will grow and flourish. Learning how to care for your Bird’s Nest Fern is quite simple when EasyPlant takes care of providing your plant with the perfect amount of water.
How often should you water bird nest ferns?
Bird's Nest Ferns prefer a consistent level of moisture. They should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry, which will typically be once or twice a week, depending on the plant's location. The key is to avoid letting them dry out completely or sit in standing water. To make watering easier, consider using easyplant's self-watering pot. Simply fill the reservoir once a month, and your Bird's Nest Fern will receive just the right amount of water it needs, reducing the risk of over or underwatering.
