Asplenium 'Bird's Nest' Fern
Bird's nest fern is a tropical, evergreen, epiphytic herbaceous perennial native to a wide area from Indonesia, Malaysia, New Guinea and tropical Australia. This resident of rainforests usually grows as an epiphyte, perched on trunks and tree limbs. This plant does not tolerate dry conditions, nor can it tolerate frost. Large, simple, strap-shaped, bright green fronds have black midribs and wavy margins. Its funnel-shaped rosette of fronds catches falling leaves and other debris and creates its own compost pile, which feeds the plant. Outside the Tropics, Bird's Nest Fern may be grown as a houseplant, it will not survive temperatures below 40 deg F.
