Complete Care Guide
Light Requirements ▼
- Bright, indirect light promotes healthy frond development and glossy appearance
- East or north-facing windows provide ideal growing conditions
- Tolerates lower light better than many houseplants
- Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the large fronds
- Perfect for naturally lit bathrooms and bright offices
Watering Instructions ▼
- Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged to support large frond growth
- Water when top inch of soil feels slightly dry
- Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater when possible
- Water around the edges, avoiding the central crown
- Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot
Humidity & Temperature ▼
- Moderate to high humidity: 40-60% for optimal frond health and glossy appearance
- Temperature range: 65-80°F (18-27°C) with consistent warmth
- Thrives in naturally humid bathrooms and kitchens
- Use humidity trays or room humidifiers for dry environments
- Avoid cold drafts, heating vents, and sudden temperature changes
Potting & Fertilizing ▼
- Use well-draining, chunky potting mix that mimics epiphytic growing conditions
- Add orchid bark or perlite for extra drainage and aeration
- Feed monthly during growing season with diluted liquid fertilizer
- Repot every 2-3 years or when roots become crowded
- Choose heavy, stable pots to support large frond development
Air Purification & Maintenance ▼
- Excellent air purifier removing formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene from indoor air
- Large frond surface area maximizes air-cleaning benefits
- Remove brown or damaged fronds at the base with clean scissors
- Wipe glossy fronds gently with damp cloth to maintain their lustrous appearance
- Never cut the growing tip - new fronds emerge from the center only

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Bird's Nest Ferns different from other ferns?
Unlike typical ferns with divided, lacy fronds, Bird's Nest Ferns have large, undivided, glossy leaves that emerge in a rosette pattern. This unique structure creates a completely different aesthetic - more architectural and modern - while being easier to care for than many delicate ferns.
How large will the fronds actually get?
Indoor Bird's Nest Fern fronds can reach 2-4 feet long and 6-8 inches wide when mature, creating an impressive display. The large size, combined with the glossy finish and nest-like arrangement, makes them stunning statement plants for larger spaces.
Why is my fern called an epiphyte?
In nature, Bird's Nest Ferns grow on tree branches and rocks rather than in soil, collecting nutrients from debris that falls into their "nest." This epiphytic nature means they prefer chunky, well-draining potting mixes and don't like to stay too wet.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Absolutely! Asplenium ferns are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their stunning large glossy fronds and air-purifying benefits safely throughout their home.
Why are my frond tips turning brown?
Brown frond tips usually indicate low humidity, water quality issues, or underwatering. Increase humidity around the plant, use filtered or distilled water, and maintain consistent soil moisture. The large fronds are sensitive to these environmental factors but respond well to proper care.

This is the sunscreen I've been looking for my entire life
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've tried almost every sunscreen under the sun. I've used lotions, sprays, sticks, always above spf50. I apply every 2-3 hours and always after swimming. I make sure the product isn't expired and you know what I STILL GET BURNED.
BUT THIS ONE- I wore it on a carribean vacation so I was out in the sun constantly and NO SUN BURN AT ALL. I've officially become a blue lizard fan and will buy nothing else.
The product is thicker than traditional sunscreen and you may need more than you traditionally use but it is so worth it. The smell is very slight if at all. It did not stick to my clothes at all. I went swimming with it on and it honestly was still on even after being in the ocean. I still reapplied to be safe but I could feel the first application still on my skin.
I used the lotion for all over application and the spray can to help with getting my back and reapply on my legs. I used the little deodorant stick to apply to face and ears. All were very easy to use.
And that's the only downside I have. You do have to scrub a little bit to get it off at the end of the day. For me not a downside at all because I know it was worth it for the sun protection and I would have had to scrub to get all the sand off anyway.

Waterproof
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This product is great for kids in the pool or ocean. It is very waterproof and you can even see the water beading on top of the sunscreen. It doesn't go on super clear, which can be an advantage for determining coverage. One other unique feature is the bottle itself changes color to indicate it is currently exposed to UV light although that is basically anytime you walk outside in daytime.

Good sun protection but leaves white streaks after sweating
Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I really wanted to like this sunscreen after seeing it make a lot of lists for best sunscreen for runners. But for whatever reason, about 15-20 minutes into my runs and I've started really sweating, I see white streaks in my elbow crease. I've started developing weird tan lines in my elbow crease if I don't consciously try to re-rub and re-spread the sunscreen in my elbows periodically during my runs. If I only use the sunscreen for lower impact activities, I don't get the white streaks. It's as if from the sweat it pools the minerals from the sunscreen into my elbow crease. But yet I don't have that problem with the sweat mix with my sunscreen on other parts of my body. I've also switched to Australian Gold Botanical Mineral sunscreen which ironically isn't meant for sports, but I don't have the elbow crease white streaks issue with that sunscreen.
I will say, this Blue Lizard sunscreen does rub and spread easily and doesn't leave a white cast after rubbing it into my skin. Although it does feel mildly greasy after I'm done applying it everywhere. I've switch to Australian Gold Botanical Mineral sunscreen which doesn't feel greasy but it does leave a slight white cast on my tan skin, but I'll rather have that than deal with frequently needing to re-rub/re-spread the sunscreen in my elbow creases when white streaks form.
