Austral Gem is One of The Easiest to Grow Ferns

The Austral Gem is a dark green Asplenium fern hybrid created by Chris Goudey of Austral Ferns in Victoria, Australia. It is also called the “Bird’s Nest Fern”.

This plant is unique to most ferns in the fact that it has stiff, shiny leaves with a waxy texture. Austral Fern is a medium sized plant that is a moderately slow grower and should not reach over 12” at maturity. It prefers evenly moist soil, and as most ferns, it does not appreciate direct light. It is considered to be much more drought tolerant and more forgiving than other ferns.

• Easy to grow
• Prefers bright, indirect light
• Keep evenly moist
• Also known as Bird’s Nest Fern
