Bird’s Nest Fern
Lighting needs: place it in bright, indirect light to avoid direct sunlight which can scorch its delicate fronds.
Humidity Needs: Keep the plant in a humid environment, ideally between 50-80% humidity; mist the leaves regularly or place a tray of water nearby.
Watering Needs: Water the fern consistently to maintain evenly moist soil, but avoid overwatering which can lead to root rot—allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Use well-draining soil and a pot with good drainage.
Temperature Needs: Maintain a room temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
Feeding: Fertilize lightly every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer).
Pruning: Remove any brown or dead fronds to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's appearance.
