How Stuff Works
<http://home.howstuffworks.com/birds-nest-fern.htm>
The bird's nest fern is a house plant that likes humidity. Despite its
name, the bird's nest fern does not look like a typical fern. The
apple-green, tongue-shaped fronds of the bird's nest fern are whole rather
than cut. They are borne from a central, funnel-shaped rosette of fuzzy,
brown wool where the emerging fronds resemble bird's eggs, giving the
plant its common name.
The bird's nest fern thrives on high humidity. The higher the humidity,
the longer the fronds. They rarely reach more than 18 inches in height
indoors.

Bird's Nest Fern
Ferns have always been an important segment of the foliage industry. The
Boston fern, Nephrolepis exaltata, was one of the first ferns grown
commercially for export and there are now many other fern species,
including Bird's-nest fern, produced and sold in large quantities.
Bird's-nest fern, Asplenium nidus, is a large epiphytic fern, with erect,
simple, wavy, bright green leaves which can reach lengths of 4 feet.
Asplenium nidus `Crispafolium', the wavy Bird's-nest fern, is similar to
Bird's-nest fern but fronds are much wavier.

Asplenium nidus, or Bird's-Nest Fern, is native to Tropical Asia. It is a
spectacular, epiphytic fern with apple green fronds that will reach up to
20-60 inches (50-150 cm) long by 8 inches (20 cm) wide. As the fronds age,
they have a prominent blackish midrib. They make outstanding container
plants and are very showy. Spores develop on the underside of fronds in
long lines known as coenosori.

Bird's Nest Fern
Common Name: Bird's Nest Fern, Spleenwort, Shuttlecock
Botanical Name: Asplenium nidus
Plant Family: Aspleniaceae|
<http://www.briansgarden.com/2003/02/birds-nest-fern.html>
The leathery, tongue-like, glossy, pale green, wavy-edged fronds of this
fern are borne in a tight rosette at the rhizome, forming a bowl-shaped
clump with a fibrous center, which to many resembles a bird's nest, or at
least a seemingly sheltered spot for a bird's nest. Each frond is entire
or undivided and has a prominent, polished rib running down the center of
the frond. The new fronds uncurl from the hairy, dark scaled crown of the
rosette in typical fern manner. They are very soft and brittle when young
and must not be handled. As the new fronds grow in, the older ones
gradually die.

LIGHT
This fern must be grown in low to moderate, indirect light, such as that
of a north window or lightly curtained east or west windows. The fern will
grow successfully under 150 foot candles of artificial light. In direct
sun, the fronds will scorch, and in deep shade, the plant will perish.
Very pale colored fronds can be the direct result of too much sun or
light.

Bird's Nest Fern
<http://rainforest-australia.com/Birds%20Nest%20Fern.htm>
Like most tree ferns, the Bird's Nest is popular and pilfered.
It is also known as the Crows Nest Fern.
It grows in a great variety of sites in rainforests as an epiphyte on
large trees or independently growing on the forest floor and rocks if good
light is available.
It is found in Queensland, New South Wales to the south coast, and Asia.
In southern Queensland and New South Wales the fern is generally larger
than in northern Queensland, and there are suggestions that this smaller
fern may be a distinct genetic race.
It is well adapted to the sometimes harsh conditions of the rainforest and
recovers quickly with the assistance of rain even though the leaves may
look wilted, brown and beyond repair.

Since our introduction of Asplenium goudeyi to the U.S. market last
autumn, we may consider it one of our basic bird's-nest ferns. It is
smaller than the big epiphytes and is more often epipetric than epiphytic.
It grows in fairly harsh conditions along the cliffs of Lord Howe Island
and enjoys a marine atmosphere. Its fronds are stiff and greyish and
fairly upright. It may be grown outdoors here in the same manner as A.
australasicum.
While researching the information on these four species, I encountered a
number of other bird's-nest type ferns that are seldom found in local
cultivation, usually because they require special conditions. The
following list is by no means exhaustive.

JORDI: Bird's-nest fern, Asplenium nidus, is a large epiphytic fern, with
erect, simple, wavy, bright green leaves which can reach lengths of 4
feet. Asplenium nidus `Crispafolium', the wavy Bird's-nest fern, is
similar to Bird's-nest fern but fronds are much wavier. This plant grows
best in warmer, humid climates. It does not tolerate temperatures below
40F.
Birds-nest fern need continual moist soil; it should never be allowed to
go dry between watering. The linear lines you see are spores from which
new plants can be propagated. The large dead areas are probably caused by
fungal spores. Plants often have disease issues when grown out of their
preferred environment.
Birds-nest fern might work best in interior environments here as long as
they are receiving sufficient humidity such as a bright, sunny bathroom.
In addition, this plant, when grown outside, prefers shady sites so
placing it in full sun areas can cause even more stress. If you plan to
keep it, you might consider moving it to a different site, perhaps a
screened pool area or under large shade trees. The plant may grow better
in protected areas, away from dry cool air or full sunny spots. In south
Florida, these plants are often hung under tree limbs to give them dappled
light, high humidity and temperature protection, in other words the
perfect environment.
