It grows very quickly, with good care the fronds reach 60-100 cm. With age, the plant grows greatly in width, as new leaves are constantly formed from the center of the rosette.
How to grow
Provide the asplenium with soft diffused light (12 hours/day), room temperature + 24⁰C and air humidity 60%.
Eastern or western window sills will be most comfortable for the plant.
Try not to place asplenium near working radiators, and also avoid drafts and temperature changes.
How to care for Asplenium at home
Asplenium Nidus, like all ferns, needs high air humidity, and therefore requires frequent and regular spraying.
In the summer, the plant must be moistened every 2-3 days.
It is also recommended to systematically arrange a warm shower and place it on a deep tray with wet expanded clay.
Asplenium loves spraying, especially in summer. Avoid drafts and dust.
The soil should not be either excessively dry or very wet - this can lead to the death of the plant.
Moderate watering and indoor air humidity are sufficient.
How often to water asplenium
Asplenium Osaka is a moisture-loving plant and needs abundant watering with soft water that has stood for several days.
At the same time, do not allow water to stagnate in the pots or tray.
In the summer, the fern is watered at least 2-3 times a week; it is necessary to constantly keep the soil moist.
We previously talked about the rusty rake problem.
