Japanese Bird's Nest Fern 'Osaka' 4"

Asplenium antiquum 'Osaka'
Ferns are a classic shade plant family with numerous tropical/houseplant varieties. All are excellent as air purifying container plants, beautiful growing in hanging baskets, or displayed in terrariums, a humid bathroom or kitchen. Japanese Bird's Nest Fern 'Osaka' displays wide, strappy fronds that roll out from the central rosette. As it grows, the shape takes on that of a nest. Fronds develop heavily ruffled margins at a young age. This is a tropical, epiphytic fern that grows best in well-drained, barky, orchid mixes or mounted on bark or hanging baskets with moss. Due to their waxy, semi-succulent foliage, they can tolerate hotter, slightly drier conditions compared to other fine leaf ferns. Grow in bright to medium, indirect lighting from an eastern or northern exposure window, or under fluorescent lighting. Prefers cool to average household temperatures, 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray mist regularly and keep soil evenly moist to slightly dry. Supply extra humidity by setting on a shallow tray of moistened pebbles. Feed with indoor plant fertilizer April-September per package instructions. Grow indoors over winter.
