Asplenium nidus is native to east tropical Africa, 

temperate and tropical Asia and in Australasia. 

Asplenium nidus can survive either as an epiphytal or terrestrial plant,

Asplenium antiquum is an excellent, evergreen ornamental houseplant. 

This fern can grows up to 1 m wide and 1 m high. 

It has bright green, arching blades with a pointed end and a strong midrib.

It is great at filtering toxins from the air and 

produces a high level of oxygen.

It prefers moderate sunlights, 

a termperature in between 18°C - 24°C (or 65°F - 75°F), and

moist soil pH of 5.5 to 6.5.
