Birdsnest Fern Care: Easy Tips | Keep Your Plant Happy!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, here’s my blog post about caring for my bird’s nest fern, written in a casual, personal style:

So, I picked up this bird’s nest fern a while back – you know, the one with the crinkly, bright green leaves that look like a little nest? I thought it’d be a nice, easy-going addition to my indoor jungle. Turns out, it’s pretty chill, but you gotta know a few things to keep it happy. I learned some of this the hard way, so hopefully, my mistakes can help you!

Birdsnest Fern Care: Easy Tips | Keep Your Plant Happy!

Getting Started: Potting and Placement

First things first, I repotted the little guy from the plastic nursery pot it came in. I used a mix of regular potting soil with some extra perlite thrown in for better drainage. These ferns don’t like to sit in soggy soil, so good drainage is super important. Trust me, I almost drowned my first one!

Then came the big question: Where to put it? I knew they liked humidity, so I initially stuck it in my bathroom near the shower. Bad idea! It wasn’t getting enough light. So, I moved it to a spot near a north-facing window. It’s been much happier there – bright, indirect light is the sweet spot.

Watering: The Tricky Part

Watering was where I messed up at first. I was so scared of overwatering that I ended up underwatering it. The leaves started getting brown and crispy at the edges. Oops! Now, I check the soil every few days. I stick my finger in about an inch, and if it feels dry, it’s time to water.

Here a tip.

Don’t pour the water to the leaves center that may cause some bad thing.

I did, and now I pour water to soil.

  • Feel the soil: Stick your finger in to check for dryness.
  • Water thoroughly: Soak the soil until water drains out the bottom.
  • Don’t let it sit in water: Empty the saucer after watering.

Humidity and Other Stuff

Like I said, these ferns love humidity. Since my place is pretty dry, especially in the winter, I got a little humidifier to keep it happy. You could also put it on a pebble tray with water, or group it with other plants to create a more humid microclimate. I’ve even misted it occasionally, but I’m not sure how much that really helps.

I feed my fern with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every month or so during the growing season (spring and summer). I’m pretty lazy about it, to be honest, but it seems to be doing fine. I haven’t had any pest problems, thankfully, but I do wipe down the leaves every now and then to keep them dust-free and looking shiny.

Overall, my bird’s nest fern has been a pretty low-maintenance plant. It’s added a nice pop of green to my living room, and I’m really enjoying watching it grow. Just remember: bright, indirect light, good drainage, and consistent watering (but not too much!). You got this!
