What we love about – Bird Nest Ferns

The bird nest fern, or ‘asplenium victoria’, features quite often in our living plant gifts. It is a great addition to any indoor space or office, or outside in a shaded position.

Why is it such a good plant?

I’m glad you asked – here’s why:

  • striking foliage
  • lush green
  • air purifier
  • non-toxic (safe for pets and children to be around)
  • great for the bathroom (likes humidity) (check out this post about it on FlowerPower)
  • doesn’t require heaps of water

When we have them in the shop we water once a week only, making sure they are not boggy. It is also important to make sure they are not sitting in a draft (such as constant air-con flow). Sometimes they may appreciate a spray with water to keep up the humidity if the air is dry.
