Q.Doubled Head Leaves On My Birds Nest Fern

Zone Boksburg | Monia added on November 9, 2020 | Answered

My birds nest fern is creating double headed leaves. Is this normal or some sort of mutation and if it’s not normal, is it bad and if so what causes it and how do I stop it? It already has three of these leaves.

The double leaf can be normal, but it can show up during stress, as well.

I see signs of, either, nutrient burn or overwatering in one of the newer leaves, though.

For the healthiest plant possible, follow these care instructions:
