Asplenium nidusAsplenium nidus forms a broad rosette of entire glossy fronds around a deep central nest. The bright green blades are strap-shaped, gently rippled and divided visual ly by a dark brown to black midrib.New fronds emerge as tightly coiled pale-green croziers and stand upright through the middle. They lengthen, deepen in colour and arch outwards, with old specimens producing blades well over 1 m in tropical conditions. Parallel brown sori develop beneath mature fertile fronds. As the rosette expands, fallen organic material collects naturally in its central nest, while successive layers of foliage create a wide funnel-shaped plant. Show more
