Description
Bird's Nest Fern is an epiphytic fern that grows its wavy fronds outward from a central rosette, forming the nest shape the plant is named after.
It is offered at 40cm tall between AED 65 and AED 95, with nursery or ceramic pot options. Because the fronds spread sideways, allow rather more width than the height figure suggests.
This fern grows on tree bark in the wild, so its roots expect air, not dense wet soil. In a UAE home the hazard is that the nest catches water: liquid poured into the centre sits in air conditioned coolness and rots the crown outward.
How to care for Bird's Nest Fern in the UAE
Low to moderate indirect light, never direct sun, which bleaches the fronds pale. Water around the pot edge, keeping the crown dry, whenever the compost surface feels dry. The commonest mistake is watering into the nest, which is hard to reverse once the centre softens.
Where Bird's Nest Fern works best
Bathrooms, north facing rooms and shaded hallways where light never gets strong. Other plants for those positions are grouped under low light indoor plants.
FAQ
Why are the frond edges going brown and crisp?
Dry air, usually from an air conditioning vent. Move the plant out of the airflow and raise humidity by grouping pots together.
Should I cut off damaged fronds?
Cut a badly damaged frond back to the rosette. It will not repair itself, and removing it directs energy into new fronds unfurling at the centre.
Plants Care
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We ensure that every plant we send out meets two key criteria:
- We carefully inspect each plant for signs of root rot, pests, disease, and unhealthy foliage or stems. If we find any issues, we don’t ship the plant. This meticulous care ensures that every plant is healthy and ready to thrive in its new home.
- We ask ourselves if we’d proudly display the plant in our own homes and if it matches the online photos. If both answers are yes, we ship it. However, if you're not happy with your plant, we offer a hassle-free replacement within 14 days of delivery.
Yes, we strive to match the appearance of the plants shown online. While natural variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected, we do our best to ensure your plant closely resembles its online image.
Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot to ensure safe transportation. We recommend leaving it in this pot for at least 6 to 12 months to acclimate to your home’s environment. For succulents, which acclimate faster, we may replant them before shipping.
Consider the following:
- Light: A bright, indirect light spot offers more plant options than a shady area.
- Time: Some plants need minimal care, while others require more attention.
- Style: Choose plants that match your aesthetic, whether tree-like with large leaves or vining varieties.
