Asplenium nidus 'Crispy Wave'

Also referred to as the 'Japanese Birdnest Fern' this species is the most compact and slowest growing of all the birdnest ferns and will do very well in indoor gardens and terrariums.

They are very slow growing and will not require much maintenance so it can be kept small and compact for long periods; insignis will also do exceptionally well in pots in most places indoors.

Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums, potting mix must be allowed to almost dry between watering's. Keep in some direct sunlight or provide artificial light. Avoid heaters and drafty positions.

Fertilizer should be only used it you would like the plant to grow. Lack of fertilizer will keep plants shorter and more compact.

Temperatures above 20c will speed up growth, between 10 and 20c growth will be extremely slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact. This Birdnest Fern is hardy and can also be kept outdoors in colder climates. Avoid overwatering in winter.
