Hurricane Fern Information
About The Hurricane Fern
The Hurricane Fern, scientifically known as Asplenium antiquum 'Hurricane' or Bird Nest Fern 'Hurricane', is a lower-maintenance fern that does great as a houseplant. Prized for its uniquely twisted, swirling fronds that resemble a hurricane’s spiral, this plant thrives in indirect sunlight, loves humidity (try them in your bathroom!), and it’s pet friendly.
- Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
- Medium plant measures between 5-9 inches tall from bottom of the grow pot to the top of the foliage
- Arrives in a nursery grow pot nestled in your planter choice
