Know before you buy
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a location that your pets cannot reach, such as a high shelf or a room they do not frequent.
This means the plant should be placed near a window where it receives plenty of natural light, but never direct sun rays, which can scorch the fronds. A spot a few feet away from an east-facing window is usually ideal.
You can increase humidity by placing the fern in a bathroom, grouping it with other plants, or using a pebble tray filled with water beneath the pot. Misting the leaves occasionally also helps, though it is less effective than a humidifier.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water, but be careful not to let the plant sit in standing water, which can lead to root rot.
The Bird's Nest Fern has a medium growth rate and a clumping habit, meaning it will gradually fill out its pot over time. While it won't take over a room quickly, it will develop a lush, full appearance as it matures.
