  • Crissie Fern, or Asplenium antiquum ‘Crissie’, is a wonderful tropical plant with wavy, slender, leathery green leaves. These leaves grow freely from the center stalk, resembling a large bird's nest, hence the name! Unlike other Ferns, Crissie's leaves have forked tips, giving this plant another name: Forked Bird’s Nest Fern.

    Bird's Nest Fern can grow up to 2-4 feet, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets and tall planters.

    This plant is a perfect indoor plant as it has an air-purifying and detoxifying effect and requires little care. Bird's Nest Fern plants are recommended by NASA as one of the best houseplants that help to clean the indoor air.

  •  Crissie Fern thrives in birght to moderate, indirect light and does not tolerate harsh direct sunlight or deep shade.

    This plant needs moderate watering. Water only the soil and not directly into the leaves to avoid rotting. The soil should be moist but not waterlogged.

    This plant prefers soils that can retain moisture but still drain well. You can mix your own soil with 2 parts peat and 1 part sand or perlite.

    Crissie Fern thrives in temperatures between 60°F-80°F and a humidity level between 50-70%. Use a humidifier and mist your plant when the weather is dry, especially during winter.

    This plant should be fertilized once per month during the growing season (spring/summer) with diluted houseplant fertilizer.

     Crissie Fern is non-toxic.

    When you purchase online, your plants have to go through lots of stress while traveling so they may need a few days to adjust to their new environment and thrive. If your plant does not perk back up after a few days of care, let us know and we will send replacements free of charge. Remember that we always try our best to accommodate you.
  • It’s advised that you should repot the plant as soon as you get it. After repotting, your new houseplant will most likely struggle with transplant shock. It may appear droopy, faded, or have a slower growth rate than usual during this time. This is completely normal, and it’s also normal for transplant shock to hit especially hard after repotting a brand-new houseplant. To make sure your plant has plenty of time to adjust to its new surroundings, wait a day after potting and water your plant. Make sure any excess water drains completely from the pot afterward. Monitor your soil’s moisture levels daily to start creating a watering routine. To help perk up your new houseplant, we recommend adding a little water-soluble fertilizer, compost, or sugar water to your soil to boost its nutrients and help it grow.
