Costa Farms Bird’s Nest Fern Plant

No, this plant is toxic to cats and dogs. It is best to keep it in a room or on a shelf that your pets cannot access.

The self-watering pot features a reservoir that allows the plant to draw up moisture as needed. This helps maintain consistent soil hydration and reduces the risk of overwatering, though you should still check the soil weekly.

Medium light refers to a spot that receives bright, indirect sunlight, such as a few feet away from a window with a sheer curtain. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sun, which can scorch the fronds.

Yes, the Bird’s Nest Fern is known for its air-purifying qualities. Like many houseplants, it helps filter common indoor pollutants, contributing to a fresher home environment.

When mature, the Bird’s Nest Fern typically reaches a height of 1 to 2 feet with a spread of up to 2 feet. Because it has a slow growth rate, it will remain a manageable size for a tabletop or shelf for quite some time.

While it prefers average to high humidity, you can easily boost moisture levels by grouping it with other plants, placing it in a bathroom, or using a pebble tray. Misting the leaves occasionally can also help, especially in drier indoor climates.
