Asplenium antiquum ‘Leslie’ – Crested Bird’s Nest Fern

OriginNative to tropical Southeastern Asia, Eastern Australia, Hawaii, Polynesia, Christmas Island, India, and eastern Africa LightLikes bright, indirect light; a splash of direct sun in autumn and winter will help with its dormancy. Not suitable for low light where it is at higher risk of root rot. WaterAllow the top third of the soil to dry out between waters; this will mean less frequent watering in less bright spots! HumidityAverage humidity is fine for the Bird’s Nest Fern; A humidity tray would be appreciated but misting can cause issues with the foliage. A hose down to clear it of dust every so often will be helpful as long as the leaves are able to dry out. SoilUse a well-draining soil mix, for example with added bark, to allow plenty of air to get to the epiphytic roots. Add bark or an Orchid blend to soil designed for Ferns for the perfect mix. Repot every few years in spring as the plant grows. FoodFeed every four weeks with water in the growing season, reducing to every six in autumn and winter.TemperatureTemperatures between 12-26C are ideal for this plant. It can be brought outdoors in summer, but make sure it’s in a shady spot, and watch for pests when bringing it back in! Pet-safeYes, but too much nibbling won’t be good for pets, small humans or the plant! Sprouts Top TipsWater into the soil directly to prevent extra water sitting on the leaf and causing issues. If the potting mix is drying out slowly, you can poke the soil with a chopstick or similar sized stick to allow more oxygen in and mimic the movement of insects.
