A lovely low maintenance, air purifying tropical houseplant, the Bird's Nest fern is identified by its flat, wavy fronds. Ideal for beginners.

Origin
Native to South East Asia and Eastern Australia.
Positioning + Light Needs
Bright to moderate light is fine, just avoid any direct sunlight and deep shade. A good one for kitchens and bathrooms but keep away from any draughts.
Watering
Ferns do like water. Make sure its soil remains moist at all times, but never ever sodden! Best also to water around the edge of the rosette to avoid the water becoming stagnant in the centre which may cause it to rot.
Misting
Yes please, I enjoy a good level of humidity so mist me weekly, especially in the Winter months when the heating kicks in.
Feeding
From April - September feed the plant with a weak diluted fertiliser every 2 weeks to encourage new growth and healthy looking leaves.
Re-potting
Re-pot about every second year or so. Keep your eye on the roots outgrowing its pot but it is a slow grower.
Child / Pet Friendly
Yes, I'm non 
toxic.
Look out for
Browning frond tips: Most likely cause here is dry air and lack of humidity. Increase humidity levels.
Pale fronds: too much sunlight.

Our size guide applies to both plants and planters.

GOLDEN RULES
Plants: The stated height for any given plant is from the ground up, so will always include the nursery pot.
Plant & Planter Fit: To find a planter for your chosen plant, start with the corresponding size category, e.g. plant size S - go to Small (S) planters.  
Example 1
your chosen plant size states M | 60 | 21. This is a Medium size (M) with a height of 60cm and a nursery pot diameter of 21cm.
Go to Planters size category: Medium [21 - 29cm].
You will need a minimum planter opening diameter size of 22cm.
Example 2: your chosen plant has a nursery pot diameter of 29cm. Though this falls within our Medium range (21-29cm), you will need to look at 30cm + planters - taking you into the Large Planters category [30 - 39cm].
