Bird’s nest fern whose scientific name is Asplenium nidus, is one of two of its species in cultivation. Its cousin, the spleenwort looks very different and is much harder to care for. Bird’s nest ferns usually grow on top of other plants and in their natural habitat, they are often found growing in the crooks of tree branches.
Their fronds have a lovely apple color and are shaped like spoons which makes them an attractive choice as a house plant.
