The Asplenium Nidus Crissie, also called Bird’s Nest Fern, is an elegant and graphic indoor fern known for its shiny green wavy fronds that form a spectacular rosette resembling a bird’s nest.

Bonus: Asplenium is a purifying plant that cleans the air by removing formaldehyde and xylene.

Light & placement
The Asplenium Nidus Crissie prefers partial shade with soft indirect light. It tolerates low light but avoid direct sun which burns its delicate fronds.
- Light: Partial shade, soft indirect light, tolerates low light.
- Ideal: bathroom, office, bedroom, living room, or bright room without direct sunlight.
- Temperature: 18 to 24 °C, without sudden changes.
- Soil: light, rich, and well-draining, fern or green plant potting mix with perlite.
Verdeia tip: ferns love humidity — the bathroom is the ideal spot.
Watering & care
- Watering: regular; keep the soil slightly moist without soaking.
- Frequency: about 1-2 times per week in spring and summer, reduce slightly in winter.
- Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and well-draining soil.

- Fertilizer: once a month in spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer for green plants diluted by half.
- Cleaning: gently remove dead or yellowing fronds at the base.
Never water directly in the center of the rosette — water around it to avoid crown rot.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.

What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
