Asplenium nidus 'Crissie'
P12 Pot
Plant Highlights: Uniquely divided frond tips • Compact bird's nest habit • Thrives in humid indoor spaces • Pet-friendly evergreen foliage
Overview
Asplenium nidus 'Crissie' is a distinctive Bird's Nest Fern with glossy, bright green fronds that end in attractive crested and forked tips, giving it a more decorative appearance than the traditional species. Its upright rosette forms a neat, sculptural plant that adds fresh texture and vibrant greenery to indoor spaces throughout the year.
Compact and easy to accommodate on shelves, side tables or plant stands, 'Crissie' thrives in warm, humid conditions with bright, indirect light. It is particularly well suited to naturally bright bathrooms and kitchens, where higher humidity helps keep the fronds looking lush.

Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Position in bright, indirect light away from direct sunshine, which can scorch the fronds. Keep the plant in a warm room, protected from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes.
Watering
Keep the compost evenly moist without becoming waterlogged. Water around the edge of the pot rather than directly into the centre of the rosette, as standing water in the crown can lead to rot.
Humidity
This fern appreciates higher humidity and performs particularly well in a bright bathroom or kitchen. In drier rooms, increasing humidity will help keep the foliage in excellent condition.
Feeding
Feed monthly with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter when growth naturally slows.
Perfect For
- Bright bathrooms
- Kitchens with natural light
- Living rooms
