How to Care for bird's nest fern in Winter?

Bird's-nest fern originates from tropical rainforests, accustomed to warm, humid environments. Winter, therefore, can be challenging. It naturally over-winters in the constant 20-30°C rainforest temperature range. To thrive in cold climates, bird's-nest fern needs indoor care, ideally in a warm, shaded spot with high humidity, weekly watering, and away from cold draughts. Too little humidity or over-watering in winter can lead to diseases like root rot.
