Easy Guide on How to Care for Birds Nest Fern
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so I wanted to share my little adventure with my bird’s nest fern. You know, those cool looking plants with the wavy leaves? Yeah, that one. It all started a few weeks ago when I noticed it wasn’t looking its best.

First thing I did? I started by checking the soil. It felt super dry. Like, desert dry. I knew these ferns like humidity, but I kind of forgot to water it regularly, oops! So, I gave it a good soak in the sink. Let the water run through the pot for a while to make sure the soil was properly wet.

Next up, I took a look at the leaves. Some of them were turning brown and crispy at the edges. Not good! I read online that this could be from low humidity or using tap water. Our tap water here is kinda hard, so I switched to using distilled water for watering. I also got a spray bottle and started misting the leaves every day, especially in the mornings.

Then, I moved it to a better spot. It was sitting near a window that gets a lot of direct sunlight. I figured that might be too much for it. I moved it to a corner of the room that gets bright, indirect light. Seems happier there already!

I also checked for pests. Luckily, I didn’t see any signs of bugs or anything creepy crawling around. I’ve had problems with mealybugs before on other plants, so I always check regularly.

To give it an extra boost, I gave it a light feeding. I used a diluted liquid fertilizer, you know, the kind specifically for ferns. I only did this once, because you don’t want to over-fertilize.

I kept doing the watering with distilled water, misting, and keeping it in indirect light. And guess what? It worked! The fern started looking much healthier. The brown edges stopped spreading, and new leaves started to unfurl. So satisfying!

Here’s what I learned:

  • Watering is key. Don’t let it dry out completely, but also don’t let it sit in soggy soil.
  • Humidity is your friend. Mist those leaves!
  • Indirect light only. No harsh sunlight.
  • Good water matters. Try distilled or filtered water.

I’m no expert, but this is what worked for me. Hopefully, this helps you care for your own bird’s nest fern!
