Origin
The Asplenium antiquum 'Leslie', also known as the 'Bird's Nest Fern', originates from the humid forests of Asia, Africa, and Australia. This makes the plant belong to wild fern species that grow on both soils and trees. The plant is named after the French botanist Pierre Auguste Asplenium.

Characteristics
The Asplenium antiquum 'Leslie' is characterized by its vibrant green, glossy and wavy leaves that grow from a single central point, giving it the structured appearance of a bird's nest. The leaves are broad and long, and can vary in length from 20 to 60 cm. Unique to this fern species is its powerful air-purifying capability which contributes to a healthier living environment.

Care
The care of the Asplenium antiquum 'Leslie' requires consistently moist soil, but not soaking wet soil, as this can make the roots rot. Direct sunlight should be avoided as it can harm the leaves, while indirect, bright light is preferred. The ideal room temperature for this plant is between 16 and 24 degrees Celsius. Regular misting promotes the humidity level and mimics the natural humid forest climate of the Asplenium antiquum 'Leslie'.
