Crissie is a bird's nest fern with a twist at the tips: the broad, apple-green fronds fork and flare at their ends like little fans, giving the classic rosette a ruffled, playful outline. New fronds unfurl from the central nest, so the plant stays full and symmetrical.

Give it bright, indirect light and evenly moist soil, letting just the surface dry between waterings, and water around the edge of the pot rather than into the central crown. It appreciates humidity; a bathroom window or a pebble tray suits it well.
