Bird's Nest Fern Care
Planting
Choose a location where it can receive shade and humidity, such as an east or north-facing window. Then, plant it in a pot that is at least two times the size of its shipping container it arrives in.
Watering
Since this plant loves humidity, provide a humid environment by placing the Bird’s Nest Fern in a bathroom, kitchen, or near a humidifier. If placed in other spaces, mist your Fern regularly (at least twice weekly). If you’re not sure when to mist, simply check the soil down to around 2 inches. If the soil is dry, it’s time to mist your plant.
Fertilizing
During the growing season (between April to September) fertilize your plant once a month using specialized formula for house plants.
