Asplenium antiquum ‘Osaka’ – Bird’s Nest Fern

If you’re after lush greenery with a twist, Asplenium antiquum ‘Osaka’ brings the drama. Its glossy, wavy fronds curl and ripple like green ribbons, forming a dense, nest-like rosette that looks gorgeous on shelves, side tables, or as a centrepiece plant. Native to the tropics, it’s a great pick for adding fresh, leafy texture to your indoor jungle. This fern is as unfussy as they come — just keep it lightly moist and give it a cosy spot out of harsh sun, and it’ll reward you with year-round lushness.

Plant Care
