It is an epiphytic plant that lives in humid forests. Its leaf-rosette is a crucial part of its survival in the wild. Although the rosette may seem small, the stipules are a veritable roost for a myriad of insects. The fern is also known for its cleverly disguised flora.<\/p>\n<p>Asplenium antiquum is an excellent choice for a mounted plant, and the glossy green leaves give it a dynamic appearance. Moreover, it can be grown indoors without too much trouble. A great thing about it is that it is hardy enough to survive even in the hottest of conditions. To get it to perform optimally, it&#8217;s a good idea to plant it in a well-drained, loose organic soil and keep it dry in the summer and moist in the winter. In terms of lighting, it&#8217;s best to have it exposed to direct sunlight during the day, and indirect light during the night. It&#8217;s also a good idea to spray it with lime-free water almost daily to prevent fungi. As a bonus, it is also a fun and entertaining fern to watch grow.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the other bird&#8217;s nest ferns, Asplenium antiquum can actually be propagated by spores on the underside of its leaves. It also gets its name from the fact that it has a tiny moss-covered hole at the center of its frond. This is a particularly useful feature when the fern is growing in a shady spot, as the detritus will break down to make a decent fertilizer. It&#8217;s easy to see why it is considered the quintessential bird&#8217;s nest fern, and it&#8217;s not all that difficult to figure out why. Whether you choose to display it in a garden, on a balcony or in a pot, it&#8217;s sure to be an elegant addition to your home. You can find it for sale at many garden centers and nurseries, and it&#8217;s easy to care for. It&#8217;s a good fern, but it&#8217;s not the most attractive option. So, if you&#8217;re looking for an interesting houseplant that&#8217;s a blast to watch, look no further than Asplenium antiquum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asplenium antiquum, also known as tani-watari, is a fern native to Asia.
