Lighting: Low to medium
Humidity & Misting: 40%-100%, with higher humidity levels suggested.

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Non-toxic if consumed, though these are typically used for ornamental, not edible, purposes.
Pot Size & Packaging: A single 4″ potted bird’s nest fern plant is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
