Asplenium nidus - birds nest fern & pot cover combination
- Position: indirect light
- Soil: good potting compost
- Rate of growth: slow
- Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
- Pot cover: includes an etched aluminium planter
Lance-shaped fronds, each with a slightly wavy edge, form a distinctive shuttlecock-like effect with a really striking silhouette. Initially the fronds of this asplenium are a light lime green, however they soon mature to a deeper, richer green.
We've paired the plant here with our etched aluminium planter, a striking contemporary take on antique Indian vases, spun and finished by hand to a traditional design. Pot measures Ø17.5cm x H14cm. - Home care: Avoid handling the newly emerging fronds and water regularly in the growing season so that the compost remains moist but not waterlogged. Mist the leaves regularly with water - particularly in winter when the central heating is turned on. Maintain temperatures above 10°C in winter and repot in spring when the plant becomes root-bound.
