    Key Features:

     

    1. Foliage: Broad, wavy, bright green fronds that radiate outward from a central rosette, resembling a bird’s nest. The edges of the fronds are slightly ruffled, giving it an elegant and unique appearance.

     

     

    2. Growth Habit: Forms a dense, symmetrical rosette, making it ideal for pots or as a centerpiece in shaded garden beds.

     

     

    3. Size: Typically grows to 30-60 cm (12-24 inches) tall and wide, though it can grow larger in ideal conditions.

    Care Tips:

     

    1. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate fronds.

     

     

    2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water around the base of the plant, avoiding the central rosette, as water pooling in the crown can lead to rot.

     

     

    3. Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60-80%). Mist the plant regularly or place it near a humidifier, especially in dry indoor environments.

     

     

    4. Temperature: Grows best in warm temperatures between 18-26°C (65-80°F). Protect it from drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

     

     

    5. Soil: Requires well-draining, rich soil. A mix of potting soil, orchid bark, and peat moss works well to retain moisture without becoming waterlogged.

     

     

    6. Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, which can damage the fronds.

     

     

    7. Pruning: Remove any yellow or damaged fronds to keep the plant healthy and maintain its appearance.

    Additional Notes:

     

    Propagation: Propagation is challenging, as this fern does not produce offsets. It is typically grown from spores, which can take time and patience.

     

    Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract scale or spider mites. Inspect leaves regularly and wipe them clean to prevent infestations.

     

    Toxicity: Non-toxic to pets and humans
