Osaka Bird's Nest Fern

Asplenium nidus 'Osaka'

Osaka Bird's Nest Fern is an epiphytic evergreen fern with highly rippled upright fronds creating a vase-shaped rosette with a nest-like center that is often used as a houseplant.  Grows best in bright indirect sunlight with high humidity and consistently moist well-drained soils.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance.  Water when the first inch of topsoil is dry to the touch, avoiding the center of the plant. Fertilize with low-dose fertilizer once a month during the growing season, or at full strength once every 3-6 months avoiding the fronds.
