bird's nest fern

Tropical rosette fern

A bird's nest fern is a tropical fern with long, wavy fronds that grow in a rosette pattern from a central point, resembling a bird's nest.

Native to rainforests of Asia, Australia, and the Pacific, it's popular as a houseplant for its tolerance of low light: The bird's nest fern thrives in my bathroom.
