Care Guide:
Light: Asplenium nidus thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can scorch the delicate fronds. If placed in lower light conditions, the plant may become leggy and the fronds may lose their vibrant green color.

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be sure to water the plant from the base to prevent water from collecting in the central rosette and causing rot.

Humidity: Asplenium nidus prefers high humidity levels. Mist the plant regularly or place a humidifier nearby to maintain the necessary humidity levels. You can also place the plant on a tray filled with pebbles and water to increase humidity.

Temperature: Keep the plant in a room with temperatures between 18-24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.

Fertilizer: Feed Asplenium nidus with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

Pruning: Remove any dead or yellowing fronds to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's appearance.

Repotting: Asplenium nidus generally does not require frequent repotting. Repot the plant every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container.

Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests such as mealybugs, scale, and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
