Asplenium nidus

Description

Asplenium is a genus of around 700 species of ferns, with species forming a tight rosette made up of large, simple fronds that are glossy in look and waxy in texture. Some of the genus, like Asplenium nidus, are more commonly known as bird’s nest ferns due to the fuzzy centre of the rosette from where the new fronds emerge.

Use a houseplant fertiliser once a month between the months of April – October.

REPOTTING
