Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Common Birds Nest fern (Asplenium nidus) is all about its broad, glossy green fronds, which unfurl from a dark central rosette to form a sculptural, bowl-shaped nest. The smooth, undivided foliage gives shaded courtyards, ferneries and sheltered patios a lush tropical look, while younger plants make handsome indoor specimens in bright, indirect light. As it matures, brown spore lines may appear beneath the fronds; these are a natural part of the fern, not a pest or disease. In Perth, give it filtered light or bright shade, with protection from direct afternoon sun, hot winds and cold exposure. Use an open, humus-rich mix that holds some moisture yet drains freely. Water when the surface begins to dry, keeping the root zone evenly moist but never waterlogged, and direct water around the pot rather than repeatedly into the crown. Humidity helps new fronds open cleanly, so keep indoor plants away from air conditioners and heaters. Feed lightly during active growth and remove only old or damaged fronds.
Height In a container: commonly 45–100 cm; in warm, sheltered ground: 1–1.5 m.
Width In a container: commonly 60–100 cm; in warm, sheltered ground: 1–1.5 m.
