Living Lace^® Victoria Bird's Nest Fern Asplenium antiquum

This is a stand-out, whorling fern, and so easy to care for. It has broad strap leaves that form from a center rosette, traditional to all bird's nest ferns, but this fern has a wildly distinctive shape. As with other bird’s nest ferns, it is natively found clinging to trees and cliffs edges, much like an orchid or other epiphytic plants. In the wild of the Asian tropics, dew, water, and organic matter are collected in the center and absorbed by the plant. As a houseplant, you do not want water directly into the center of your fern, but instead, water around it. It is native to the tropics of Asia in Indonesia, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the southern parts of India.
