Long leaves unfold from the heart of the fern which is covered in chocolate coloured hairs resembling a bird's nest. One of the best places to keep this fern is near a shower or bath where it will receive optimal humidity. It is best to keep sufficient space around the leaves as the edges are easily damaged. Can also be grown in the garden in filtered light. Do not water directly into the rosette to prevent rot. This low-maintenance beauty performs best in well draining soil.
