Bird’s Nest Fern ‘Lesliie’ is a distinctive fern variety with gently crinkled, wavy fronds that give it extra texture and personality. Its bright green leaves grow in an upright rosette, creating a lush “nest” shape that feels both tropical and modern.
This fern thrives indoors in warm, stable conditions with consistent moisture. Water when the top surface of soil begins to dry, but avoid letting the pot dry out completely. Like other Bird’s Nest Ferns, it’s best to water the soil directly rather than pouring water into the center crown.
‘Lesliie’ appreciates moderate humidity, making it a great fit for kitchens, bathrooms, or rooms where other tropical plants are grouped together.
Provide medium to bright indirect light for best growth. Direct sunlight can scorch the fronds, while low light may slow development.
With its rippled foliage and sculptural form, this fern makes a beautiful statement plant for shelves, tabletops, or plant stands.
