    This was again a bargain find. I got this for $2 :)
    What kind of fern is this and how do I take care of it?

    Perhaps Asplenium antiquum, a birds nest fern.

    Tina, this is a bird's nest fern. They like high humidity, filtered sun (never direct sun),temps 70-80f, will show signs of suffering at 55f for prolonged periods of time. they can be grown in rich, organic media, fertilize weekly with a mild fertilizer. They cannot be divided to make another plant, only re-potted to accommodate its growth.

    You have a beautiful plant and it was a bargain, too! Good for you.
