DESCRIPTION

Asplenium nidus (Bird's-nest fern, Crispy Wave) ir part of Aspleniaceae family. This plant is native to Southeast Asia, Eastern Australia & East Africa. Asplenium nidus is characterized by attractive lush foliage similar in appearance to banana leaves: stemless, strap-shaped, bright green fronds have a dark brown-black mid-rib and wavy margins. Overlapping fronds form a rosette with a nest-like center, spreading upwards then gracefully arching outwards.
