Asplenium nidus Bird’s Nest Fern is a lush, tropical evergreen fern admired for its broad, glossy green fronds that radiate in a graceful rosette, creating a natural “nest” shape. Native to the rainforests of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Australia, it grows as an epiphyte, often perched on tree trunks where it absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air and organic debris caught in its fronds. Its leathery, bright green fronds resemble smooth banana leaves, each marked by a bold black midrib and gently wavy margins that give the plant a sculptural, architectural beauty. The central rosette collects fallen leaves and water, allowing the fern to form its own natural compost—one of the reasons it’s so resilient in humid environments.
Perfect as an indoor feature plant, it brings a lush tropical vibe to homes, patios, or shaded gardens.
