Bird's Nest 'Victoria' Fern

Victoria Fern 👑🌿 stands out with glossy green fronds that ripple and split at the tips, giving it a more dramatic, sculptural look than a standard bird’s nest fern. It does best in bright indirect light indoors with a bit of extra humidity, making it a great fit for bathrooms, kitchens, or cozy corners away from harsh sun and dry vents. This fern is generally manageable if you keep the soil lightly moist and avoid letting it dry out for long stretches. Pro tip: water the soil around the base instead of pouring into the center crown 💧, since trapped moisture there can cause problems.
