Asplenium Osaka Bird’s Nest Fern Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Hates getting its hair wet! Water this fern from the base and not from above, watering from above can cause the crown to rot.
Don’t leave me high n’ dry! Browning on the frond tips is caused from a lack of humidity in the air. Moving to a humid room or frequent misting will prevent this.
Remove excess dust with a damp cloth, however take care to avoid tender new fronds. Avoid using leaf shine as the fronds are sensitive to chemicals.
Light
The Japanese Bird’s Nest Fern prefers moderate, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight and deep shade. An east or north-facing window will serve the fern best.
Watering
Water thoroughly during the growing season but less so in the winter. Keep moist but do not allow to stand in water. Bird’s Nest Ferns are best watered around edge, directly onto the soil, as pouring into the crown may cause it to rot.
