Hurricane Fern
Asplenium Antiquum ‘Hurricane’
The plant, by the plant
Just call me Stormy. I'm the Hurricane Fern, and my party trick is meteorological: every one of my glossy fronds unfurls spiralling in the same direction, so my whole rosette looks permanently caught in a very stylish gust. Botanists don't fully know why. I don't explain art.
Beneath the drama I'm a birds-nest fern from East Asia's forests - compact, easy and happiest with humidity. Gentle indirect light, lightly moist soil, and the golden rule of my family: water around my central rosette, never into it.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Small - 110mm nursery pot
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 15-20cm
Pets: 100% pet-safe - the storm harms no one.
Take my watering guesswork away with a Moisture Meter, then explore our decorative pots for a style and size that suit.

Water regularly leaving the top of the soil to dry out in between waterings and prefers to be homed in a bright room with plenty of indirect filtered light. Fertilise in warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
