Price range: R135.00 through R450.00
Bird’s Nest Fern, Lush Nest-Forming Epiphyte
Common Names in South Africa: Bird’s Nest Fern, Nest Fern, Crow’s Nest Fern
Overview: Native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific, the Bird’s Nest Fern is a lush, epiphytic fern with bright green, wavy, lance-shaped fronds that form a rosette resembling a bird’s nest. Ideal for humid, low-light spaces in South African homes, it thrives in indirect light, adding a vibrant, tropical charm.
Quirky Fact: Its fronds cradle the center like a cozy nest, ready to host tiny plant dreams!
Care for Damaged Leaves: Trim brown or damaged fronds with clean scissors at the base to encourage new growth. With high humidity, well-draining soil (e.g., peat and perlite mix), and filtered light, recovery typically takes 3–5 weeks.
Safety Note: Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe, family-friendly choice for plant lovers.
Available Sizes: 14cm, 19cm, 30cm Nursery Pots
(Received plants may differ slightly from images displayed. Unless otherwise specified, all Plants come in black nursery pots)
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright indirect light or partial shade; place in bathrooms or living rooms away from direct sun to avoid scorching.
- Water: Keep soil consistently moist, watering every 1-2 weeks when top 2-5 cm dries; use room-temperature water and avoid the center rosette.
- Humidity: Thrives in 50-60% or higher; mist fronds weekly or use a pebble tray for that rainforest feel.
- Pet-Friendly? Yes—Non-toxic to cats and dogs, though excessive nibbling may cause mild upset.
