Variegated Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium Nidus Variegated)

The Variegated Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus 'Variegatum') is a striking houseplant known for its broad, glossy, green fronds adorned with creamy white or yellow variegation. Native to tropical rainforests, it brings a lush, exotic touch to indoor spaces.

Lighting: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may diminish the variegation. It can tolerate lower light conditions but thrives best in medium light.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid getting water in the central rosette to prevent rot.
- **Humidity:** High humidity is essential for optimal growth. Regular misting or placing the plant in a humid environment, like a bathroom or near a humidifier, helps maintain moisture levels.
Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 15-27°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half strength to avoid over-fertilization.
Pruning and Support: Remove dead or damaged fronds to maintain plant health and appearance. The plant generally doesn't need support as it forms a natural rosette shape.

With proper care, the Variegated Bird’s Nest Fern can thrive, adding a touch of tropical elegance to any indoor space.
