Asplenium theciferum Culture

  • Light: This fern requires low to moderate, indirect light. 
  • Temperature: Asplenium theciferum is an intermediate-to-warm-growing species. It thrives in daytime temperatures between 18-26°C (65-79°F) and a moderate drop at night. 
  • Humidity: High humidity, at or above 70%, is crucial for this plant's health. Dry air will quickly lead to crispy frond tips. 
  • Watering: The substrate should be kept consistently moist but never soggy. As an epiphyte, it needs a well-draining, airy mix. Water thoroughly when the top layer of the medium feels slightly dry. 

Additional notes:

Asplenium theciferum is a fascinating fern known for its distinctive appearance. Its glossy, leathery fronds grow in an upright, circular rosette, earning it a place among the "bird's nest ferns." The name theciferum is a direct reference to one of its most unique botanical features: its spore-bearing structures (sori) are enclosed in little sacs or "cases" (thecae) on the underside of its fronds.
