Asplenium antiquum | Japanese Bird's Nest Fern
Bird's Nest Ferns are fuss-free and very low maintenance! They can be grown in a variety of conditions, including fairly low light and humid environments. Just avoid deep shade and keep out of direct sun when it's at its strongest.
Always allow at least the top 25% of soil to dry out between waterings.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
