Asplenium nidus - Bird's-Nest Fern can eventually grow very large even in a pot. I know here they grow in the ground and can have fronds more than 6 feet (2 meters) long. They love a lot of water.

I had a big one of these but it got left out in the frost when I moved. :(

thanks for the advice on this plant Delonix. the pot it is in now is tiny so ill repot it asap.

awww Hywel, thats a shame

Irish,

You Bird's Nest Fern is very healthy looking...I bet it'll grow fast and well for you. They are one of my favorite ferns...especially when they get large.

The only problem about growing this fern here is that the snails absolutely love to eat the fronds.

thanks for that warning Delonix, ill have to put copper bands around the pot or something to protect it from the snails so

I have aquired one of these from my sister you can see how big it is in my latest photo I've just posted.

thanks treesandthings, ill have a look now
