Crissie Bird's Nest Fern (Asplenium antiquum 'Crissie')

Crissie Bird's Nest Fern brings a clean, modern fern look to indoor spaces, with fresh green fronds that feel both lush and organized. It is an easy way to add texture and soften hard lines on shelves, tabletops, and plant stands without needing flowers. This fern performs best when its soil stays evenly moist and the air is not overly dry, making it a natural fit for brighter rooms with stable conditions. Give it gentle light, steady warmth, and good drainage, and it will keep a full, fountain-like shape that looks polished year-round.

Distinctive Features

This crested bird's nest fern forms an upright rosette of glossy, strap-like fronds with wavy margins and distinctive forked tips that create the signature Crissie look. Foliage is typically bright to medium green, and new fronds emerge from the center, gradually building a dense, sculptural nest. It is grown for texture and form rather than flowers, so the display stays consistent in every season. Like other bird's nest ferns, it appreciates humidity and can decline if the crown stays wet or if the plant is repeatedly allowed to dry out.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Medium to bright indirect light, avoiding harsh direct sun that can scorch fronds.
  • Soil: A loose, well-drained, slightly acidic mix that holds moisture, such as a peat-based blend with perlite or fine bark.
  • Water: Keep soil evenly moist, watering when the surface begins to dry, and avoid pouring water into the center rosette.
  • USDA Zones: USDA Zones 10 to 11 outdoors, and elsewhere grown as a houseplant.
  • Temperature: Warm, stable temperatures are best, and protect from cold drafts and temperatures below about 55 F.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity supports cleaner fronds and better long-term performance.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Place on a plant stand at eye level so the crested frond tips read as a sculptural centerpiece.
  • Tabletops: Use in a decorative pot on desks and consoles to add tidy, high-texture greenery without taking up much space.
  • Bathrooms: Grow in a bright bathroom where humidity helps keep frond edges cleaner and growth steadier.
  • Plant Groupings: Pair with broad-leaf plants to create contrast and give displays a more layered, designed look.
  • Shaded Patios: Use outdoors in warm weather in protected shade to add lush texture where blooms are not the focus.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Stay consistent, because extended drying can cause crispy edges and slower new frond production.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer.
  • Grooming: Remove damaged or older fronds at the base to keep the rosette tidy and encourage fresh growth.
  • Placement: Keep away from heating vents and direct blasts of air, which can dry fronds quickly.
  • Repotting: Repot when crowded and refresh the mix to maintain drainage and healthy root airflow.

Why Choose Crissie Bird's Nest Fern?

  • Crested Texture: Forked frond tips add a distinctive look that stands out from typical smooth bird's nest ferns.
  • Compact Habit: Typically grows about 12 to 18 inches tall and 12 to 18 inches wide in containers.
  • Shade Friendly: Performs well in bright shade and indirect light, making it easy to place indoors.
  • Year-Round Impact: Delivers steady, evergreen foliage interest without relying on a bloom cycle.
  • Design Versatility: Works as a solo specimen or as the texture anchor in mixed indoor plant arrangements.

If you want a fern that looks intentional and stays reliably lush, Crissie Bird's Nest Fern is a strong choice. Keep it in bright, filtered light with evenly moist soil and a little humidity, and avoid soaking the center crown. With a stable routine, it will continue to send up fresh, crested fronds and maintain a clean, sculptural shape.

hobbyist only
Purchased to replace a 15 year old Epson. I still have three weeks to decide to return this so I will edit this review if I decide to do that. PROS: After a few test prints, I love the quality of color, the accuracy of reproduction to what I see on my monitor, and the number of choices for print size and quality. I found, as others complained, that with cheap gloss paper there was puddling of ink. When I switched to my best papers, especially my favorite highest quality matte finish, the results were astounding and I'd do matte for everything. As for ink usage, I made the choice to go with a cartridge printer instead of the newer high-volume inks because I wanted the archival quality. Test the output for your needs, because I found the "draft" setting produced better on gloss paper. CONS: Like so many electronics now, you only get instructions if you download and print them. Second, when the printed photo feeds out, it has been curled and as it feeds into the receiving drawer, wants to drag the wet ink against the body of the machine. You have to be there to watch and push it down with a finger. Cheaper gloss paper in 4x6 size curled up in a little wet roll 1/2" diameter and is not usable AT ALL. The miniature screen on which to select papers is ridiculous. I wish the computer interface let you make the choices on your computer, but it does not.

Defective printer and poor wifi performance
I cannot recommend that anyone buy this printer. At this price, I expected a consistently working and decent quality printer. For initial wireless setup with a Mac, we had to spend 45 minutes on the phone with Epson technical support. That got it working. It worked for a couple of weeks and then the printer would frequently lose its wifi connection even though our internet is high quality cable and very consistent. We'd have to turn this printer off and on repeatedly to re-establish the wifi connection. Then after 6 weeks it stopped working totally. After another 45 minute call with Epson, they said it had a hardware failure and we had to return it to Epson and would receive a refurbished unit. This is less than 2 months after buying a new high priced printer that they are suggesting we accept a refurbished unit. Finally Epson said they'd send a new one. We got the new one and did our customary call to tech support to set it up for wireless with a Mac. It turns out they forgot to send the factory ink cartridges in this replacement printer that are required to do an initial setup. We have the Epson cartridges that are spec'ed for this printer, but they have to be the ones that COME INSIDE the printer for the printer to begin its initial setup. So after another 45 minute call, Epson now says they have to send us new ink cartridges for the printer to even print a single piece of paper - even though we have Epson ink cartridges purchased just for this computer. So after weeks of no printer for our business, we now have to wait for another shipment from Epson. Then we will have the next 45 minute call to set it up.. This painful and costly experience has had way too many headaches - all caused by Epson defects and mistakes. We will not be buying Epson again.

A must have high quality Photo Printer for cheap!
If you’re searching for a high quality printer without breaking the bank , this is the printer for you. I had spent a good amount of time researching various printers and the picture quality they offered . I really spent my time looking this up . I found that the Picture quality on this printer is incredible . If you look at other models that can print 13x19 they cost way more. Now the ink capacity I’m not entirely sure about but I do know the ink can be expensive but it’s a trade off for getting an affordable printer without breaking super high quality pictures . Setup was very straight forward and it makes it essentially easy for anyone to connect to their network to print wired or wireless. You have the ability to print from your phone which is really amazing as well . All around this printer is great and if you’re hesitant you should just pull the trigger because you get quality with this model and affordability .

Ink is a problem
Printer is great. It prints very nicely.. had no problem setting up.. it all works fine. What I didn't like is the ink is kind of expensive and doesn't seem to last long. Once one color is out .. you can't use at all. Says "print in black" but it only allows that a few pages then it's done even tho there is black ink left. Epson customer service kind of sucks also.
