The Variegated Bird’s Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus ‘Variegatum’) is a striking houseplant known for its broad, glossy, green fronds adorned with creamy white or yellow variegation. Native to tropical rainforests, it brings a lush, exotic touch to indoor spaces. **Care:** – **Lighting:** Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may diminish the variegation. It can tolerate lower light conditions but thrives best in medium light. – **Watering:** Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid getting water in the central rosette to prevent rot. – **Humidity:** High humidity is essential for optimal growth. Regular misting or placing the plant in a humid environment, like a bathroom or near a humidifier, helps maintain moisture levels. – **Temperature:** Ideal temperatures range between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes. – **Fertilization:** Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half strength to avoid over-fertilization. – **Pruning and Support:** Remove dead or damaged fronds to maintain plant health and appearance. The plant generally doesn’t need support as it forms a natural rosette shape. With proper care, the Variegated Bird’s Nest Fern can thrive, adding a touch of tropical elegance to any indoor space.
