Fern | Birdsnest

Birds Nest Ferns are one of the longest living potted plants and extremely easy to look after, making it excellent value for money.

Light: The Bird's Nest Fern prefers moderate, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight and deep shade. An east or north-facing window will serve the fern best.

Water: Do not pour water on the center of fern. Fern's don't like drying out. Only allow the top 1/4 inch of the top soil to dry. Water little, but frequent around every 4 to 5 days to top up moisture levels. Doing a top up watering technique you should not have the water coming through the bottom or this can lead to overwatering. However if you have let the fern dry out around 1/2 then do a thorough watering. It is a bit risky to let then dry out too much. Humidifiers help as well as grouping plants to raise the humidity in immediate area.

Pets: Fortunately, bird’s-nest ferns are not toxic to cats or even dogs, making them fantastic for people who have these pets.

Fertilizer: With active growth (even in winter) we recommend using a fertilizer based for foliage plants like Dynagro foliage pro, Gaia green 444 or fish fertilizer.

Note** Twist and turn! Remembering to rotate this fern occasionally will help to create a full, even growth.
