Birdsnest Fern LESLIE Japanese Crested Ruffled Leaf Tropical Live Plant Indoor Outdoor Epiphyte Starter Size 4 Inch Pot Emerald R

Asplenium nidus 'Leslie' or Leslie Birdsnest Fern is an exceptionally unique fern that can be grown epiphytically in trees or terrestrially in soil. This fern is native to East African and Asian rain forests and requires rain forest-like conditions to remain the most beautiful. This plant prefers growing medium that is moist, but not soggy and needs indirect light to thrive. As Leslie Birdsnest Fern grows to maturity, its ruffled fronds can reach upwards of five feet in length.

Juvenile Leslie Birdsnest Ferns are very compact and grow in a tight rosette form with ruffling near the tips of the fronds; as the fern continues to mature, leaves will become progressively larger and more ruffled with many finger-like protrusions.

When cultivated indoors, Leslie Birdsnest Fern grows most successfully in areas with bright indirect light and does best in areas with high humidity like bathrooms or kitchens.
