Birds Nest Fern

Medium to low indirect light works well. A north- or east-facing window in a Canadian home is ideal. It handles dim rooms better than most tropical plants. Direct sun scorches the smooth fronds quickly.

One of the best ferns for lower-light conditions in Canadian homes. A north-facing window works year-round. From October to February when light drops, keep it as close to any available window as possible without exposing it to cold drafts from the glass.

Water around the rim of the pot onto the soil, never into the central rosette. Water when the top inch of soil is slightly dry, roughly every five to seven days. In a Canadian winter, every seven to ten days. Never let the soil dry out completely.

Prefers humidity above 50 percent. A bathroom or kitchen works well if the light is adequate. In the dry heating season in Ontario and Quebec homes, misting the fronds lightly every few days or placing the pot on a pebble tray helps prevent frond tips from browning.

Non-toxic to cats and dogs, confirmed by the ASPCA. Safe for homes with pets and small children. Can be placed at any height without concern.

The fuzzy brown centre of this fern looks like a bird's nest and is meant to collect falling debris in the rainforest, not to hold water. Pouring water into it indoors causes crown rot very quickly. Always direct water around the outer edge of the pot onto the soil. If you use a watering can, aim at the soil surface well away from the centre. This one rule prevents the most common cause of decline in this plant.
