Ferns have always been an important segment of the foliage industry. The Boston fern, Nephrolepis exaltata, was one of the first ferns grown commercially for export and there are now many other fern species, including Bird's-nest fern, produced and sold in large quantities. Bird's-nest fern, Asplenium nidus, is a large epiphytic fern, with erect, simple, wavy, bright green leaves which can reach lengths of 4 feet. Asplenium nidus `Crispafolium', the wavy Bird's-nest fern, is similar to Bird's-nest fern but fronds are much wavier.
