Crissie Fern, or Asplenium antiquum ‘Crissie’, is a wonderful tropical plant with wavy, slender, leathery green leaves. These leaves grow freely from the center stalk, resembling a large bird's nest, hence the name! Unlike other Ferns, Crissie's leaves have forked tips, giving this plant another name: Forked Bird’s Nest Fern.

Bird's Nest Fern can grow up to 2-4 feet, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets and tall planters.

This plant is a perfect indoor plant as it has an air-purifying and detoxifying effect and requires little care. Bird's Nest Fern plants are recommended by NASA as one of the best houseplants that help to clean the indoor air.
Crissie Fern thrives in bright and does not tolerate harsh direct sunlight or deep shade.

This plant needs moderate watering. Water only the soil and not directly into the leaves to avoid rotting. The soil should be moist but not waterlogged.

This plant prefers soils that can retain moisture but still drain well. You can mix your own soil with 2 parts peat and 1 part sand or perlite.

Crissie Fern thrives in temperatures between 60°F-80°F and a humidity level between 50-70%. Use a humidifier and mist your plant when the weather is dry, especially during winter.

This plant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.

Bird's Nest Fern is non-toxic.

*** The size options are represtentative of pots that the plants come in. Sometimes customer may receive multiple plants instead of a large one to make up size.

*** All of our packages are sterilized before leaving the door.
We only ship out beautiful, healthy plants! Please track your package and open it immediately upon arrival. If you receive your package and are not satisfied, please message us immediately. Fragile plants such as bearpaw, baby toe, etc. may break or loose a few of their leaves during transport. Please contact us for replacements if your plants are severely damaged. We'll try our best to accommodate you. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grown in, depending on availability or time of year.
Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
