Origin
The Asplenium nidus 'Crissie', known also as the bird's nest fern 'Crissie', originates from the tropical rainforests of Asia, Australia and Polynesia. This plant is a member of the fern family and in its natural environment, it grows shaded by larger trees. These locations are frequently moist and these conditions are ideal for the bird's nest fern.

Characteristics
The Asplenium nidus 'Crissie' is characterized by its shiny, elongated, wavy serrated leaves that grow from a central point, the 'bird's nest'. These leaves can reach up to a meter in length, giving the plant an exotic and lush look. The plant is special because it creates its own organic material under the layer of leaves, which it then uses as nutrition. This radiant green plant creates a tropical atmosphere in any room.

Care
Caring for the Asplenium nidus 'Crissie' requires specific attention. The plant doesn't like direct sunlight but it does need a lot of indirect light. The plant needs to be sprayed regularly with demineralized water, but it should never be left standing in water. It's important to strive for high humidity, like in the original rainforests. Even in the winter, it is crucial to keep the plant's soil slightly moist at all times.
