Bird's-Nest Fern

Asplenium antiquum, commonly known as the Bird’s-Nest Fern, is a striking, tropical fern prized for its elegant, vase-like form and lush, glossy foliage. Native to East Asia, this epiphytic fern forms a central rosette of bright green, strap-shaped fronds that gently arch outward, resembling a bird’s nest—hence its name. Unlike finely divided ferns, its smooth, wavy-edged leaves offer a bold, modern texture that suits both indoor and shaded outdoor spaces. Thriving in indirect light and high humidity, the Bird’s-Nest Fern is perfect for adding a fresh, sculptural element to bathrooms, shaded patios, or lush indoor plant displays.
