White ceramic plant pot, fern plant, bird of paradise

Bird's Nest Fern its scientific name Asplenium nidus and it is a fern plant, native to Asia, East Africa, and Polynesian islands. The plant grows to reach half a meter with care and can reach one meter. The plant does not produce lateral shoots, displayed alone on a low table to highlight its beauty from its center. Care for it: a plant that loves bright filtered light most of the year, keep it away from direct sunlight. Water the plant generously and fertilize with fertilizer once a month during the active growth period, and reduce watering during winter. It succeeds at room temperature and it is preferable that it does not fall below 15 degrees Celsius in winter. It loves humidity, so it is periodically misted, and the pot is placed in a tray above wet pebbles with water. The mature leaves are wiped with a soft cloth dampened with water to remove dust. As this plant continues to grow, a mass of spongy roots gathers on the soil surface. When noticing this, the pot should be changed to a larger one during spring. Note that the plant's roots cling to the sides of the pot, so be careful when transferring it. Place on the sides of the new pot a plastic sheet to facilitate moving it next time. The plant may be affected by scale insects, which can be found on the underside of the leaf near the midrib in the middle of the leaf. Treat this with an appropriate pesticide for ferns outside the room, and after about half an hour, return the plant to its place. Reproduction: one of the plants that are easy to propagate at home, as the underside of the large mature leaves (away from the center of the plant) carries spore sacs containing seeds, through which the plant reproduces.
