Frequently asked questions
Asplenium nidus
Are the brown lines under the leaves pests?
No. They are spore clusters arranged along the midrib, a normal part of the frond.
Can I keep it in the bathroom?
Only if it has a window and good natural light; humidity cannot make up for a dark, windowless room.
Why are the fronds turning yellow?
Common causes include too much sun, a dried-out pot or waterlogging; check its position and watering first.
Does it need feeding?
During active growth, a diluted liquid feed once a month is enough; pause when growth slows in winter.
