Light: Asplenium Nidus Fern prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light can cause the plant to become leggy.

-
Soil: Asplenium Nidus Fern prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter.
-
Fertilizer: Feed your Asplenium Nidus Fern with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize during the winter months.

Pruning: Prune your Asplenium Nidus Fern to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. You can also remove any yellowing or damaged leaves or fronds.
