Common Name: Bird's Nest Fern Victoria

Scientific Name: Asplenium antiquum 'Victoria'

This particular variety of bird's nest fern will, when mature, produce large ruffled, wavy leaves that resemble the ruffled skirts worn by some women in Victorian-era England.

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Small and medium sized reptiles and amphibians; a particular favorite of tree frogs and other arboreal (tree dwelling) animals, when mounted in high humidity environments.

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma

Soil Depth: All soil depths with proper drainage

Lighting: Low to medium indirect light.  Placement directly under a heat or basking lamp may result in burnt leaves.

Humidity & Misting: 40%-100%, with higher humidity levels suggested for optimal growth.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: These easy-to-grow ferns have sturdy fronds that will keep flushing growth from the center, creating a "bird's nest" appearance of foliage.  They can grow up to a foot or two wide, but the size can be managed with selective pruning.  They have very shallow fibrous root systems that allows for a surprising amount of anchorage with this fern.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures/low humidity may cause leaves to brown.  Best used as a front (low) groundcover, underplanting, or mounted (only in high humidity conditions).  

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Non-toxic if consumed, though these are typically used for ornamental, not edible, purposes.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4" potted bird's nest fern plant is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
