Asplenium nidus 'Antiquum'
Native to the tropical forests of Asia,
the Asplenium nidus can survive as an epiphyte or terrestrial plant.
Often found in the shady crevices of trees,
they thrive in warm, humid areas in partial or full shade,
making them the perfect plant to spruce up your bathroom.
This hybrid has the same characteristically beautiful
bright green leaves as the original Bird's Nest Fern, but is unique in its ruffled edges
and midrib that is roundish above and below the leaf surface.
