Origin
The Asplenium nidus, also known as the bird's nest fern, originates from tropical and subtropical areas around the world. This plant has mainly settled in Southeast Asia, Eastern Australia, and East Africa. It predominantly grows in warm, humid habitats such as rainforests.

Characteristics
The Asplenium nidus is a fern species with elongated, shiny green leaves that grow from a central point, forming a sort of 'nest'. The leaves can grow up to two metres long and have a leathery texture. The growth pattern of this plant is unique, with new leaves unfolding from a crown in the centre of the plant. The Asplenium nidus does not bloom but instead produces spores for reproduction.

Care
For optimal growth, the Asplenium nidus requires constant, high humidity and does best in indirect light or partial shade. This plant prefers moist, well-drained soil and should never dry out. However, overwatering can cause root rot. It is also advisable to regularly spray the plant with lukewarm water to maintain high humidity. Periodic feeding during the growing season can enhance the growth and appearance of the Asplenium nidus.
