Asplenium antiquum aka Japanese Bird's Nest Fern

Asplenium antiquum, also known as the 'Bird's Nest Fern', is a fern belonging to the bird's-nest group. It can be found in its natural habitat in China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, often growing on cliffs, tree trunks, or in forests. The fern has a single shuttlecock rosette of glossy apple-green fronds that emerge from a dark hairy middle. Asplenium antiquum is an easy-to-care-for houseplant that requires little maintenance beyond a shaded spot and regular watering. It does well in moderate sunlight, and should be kept less than 6 feet away from a window. The plant prefers soil that is good at retaining moisture. Repotting the plant each time it doubles in size is recommended, and no additional fertilizers should be necessary. Older, hardened leaves can be wiped with a damp cloth to keep the plant looking tidy. In Japanese, the fern is known as ō-tani-watari and tani-watari.
