What are the cultivation methods and precautions of bird's nest fern

Bird's Nest Fern Introduction

Bird's nest fern, also known as mountain fern, belongs to the Aspleniaceae family. It is common in tropical areas and is a good foliage plant. Its plant height can reach about 80-100 cm.

When propagating bird's nest ferns, seed propagation and cutting propagation are generally used, but seed propagation is the most commonly used method.

Bird's nest fern cultivation method

Bird's nest fern prefers a warm and humid growing environment, and usually uses loose, well-drained and breathable soil, which allows it to grow better. When planting, be sure to use high-quality seedlings, and usually have sufficient sunlight and a good ventilation environment.

Watering method

Bird's nest fern prefers a humid environment and usually has a relatively high air humidity. It needs a lot of watering during the growing season, and the amount of watering should also be increased in summer, but water accumulation should be avoided.

Fertilization method

Bird's nest fern has a relatively high demand for nutrients and is relatively easy to absorb, so it is necessary to apply more fertilizers in normal times and topdressing during the growing period. However, please note that thin fertilizers need to be applied.

Pruning methods

When the bird's nest fern grows relatively large, some smaller branches will appear, which need to be pruned in time. In addition, some overgrown branches need to be cut off at ordinary times, and yellow leaves need to be removed when they appear.

Precautions for breeding bird's nest fern

When caring for bird's nest ferns, some diseases and insect pests often occur due to poor ventilation. When these diseases occur, they must be sprayed with pesticides in a timely manner. Therefore, during maintenance, they must be placed in a well-ventilated place with a suitable temperature environment.
