Asplenium nidus — Bird's Nest Fern
The Asplenium nidus, also called bird's nest fern, forms a rosette of shiny apple green leaves that curl from the center, like a nest. It is a tropical plant with a lush appearance, perfect for giving an immediate fresh feeling to your interior.
It loves apartment atmospheres: soft light, no direct sun, a bit of humidity — it was made for the bright bathroom, zen bedroom, or cozy office.
Exposure & location
The Asplenium prefers indirect light, soft to medium, without direct sun. Strong sun can burn its delicate fronds.
- Ideal: bright but shaded room, shelf near a north or east window.
- Perfect in: bright bathroom, warm kitchen, slightly shaded reading nook.
- Outdoors: possible in summer on a shaded balcony, sheltered from dry wind.
Verdeia tip: avoid direct air flows (AC, blowing heater), it hates that.
Watering & care
- Watering: regular but light. The soil should remain slightly moist, never soggy.
- Where to water: water the soil around the plant, not directly in the center of the rosette.
- Humidity: it loves humid air: gentle misting 1 to 2 times per week.
- Easy care: simply remove damaged fronds at the base.
- Level: easy → ideal for beginners who want a tropical look without hassle.
In winter, space out watering but continue to ensure good ambient humidity.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
The Asplenium has a lush, almost sculptural presence. It works great as a centerpiece plant in a tropical arrangement.
- Visual look: soft jungle vibe, fresh, a bit like “tropical forest after the rain.”
- To pair with: Calathea (for graphic leaves), Maranta (for living plant effect), trailing Pothos (for volume around).
- Ideal pot: matte ceramic or textured green/beige pot to enhance the organic and humid feel.
- Where to place it: low furniture in the living room, light wood stool, or wide windowsill without direct sun.
Winning cozy living room trio: Asplenium (round volume) + climbing Philodendron (verticality) + small trailing plant.
Verdeia tips
- Repotting: every 1 to 2 years, in spring, in a pot just slightly bigger. It likes to be a bit cramped at first.
- Substrate: light and airy soil, rich in organic matter and well draining.
- Dry leaf edges: air too dry → move it closer to a humidity source (bright bathroom).
- Yellowing leaves: often too much stagnant water → let dry a bit more between waterings.
Wipe leaves with a soft damp cloth: it prevents dust and keeps the “tropical shine” effect.

Each package is designed to ensure that your plant arrives in perfect health and without stress related to transport.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos shown are true to the variety and the announced size (pot diameter and approximate height).
Each plant being unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or shade may exist — that is what makes them so charming!
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery throughout Europe.

What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package upon receipt, carefully remove the plant from its packaging and let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering it.
If it has slightly suffered from transport, it will quickly regain its shape after one or two days in the light.
Can I put this plant outside?
It depends on the species. Most indoor plants prefer a bright place without direct sunlight, while outdoor plants like more direct light.
Refer to the exposure advice in the product description to know if it is suitable for a balcony, a terrace, or indoors.
