Default Ixora and Bird nest fern

Hey guys i recently got 2 plants from a nursery....And ixora with really tiny leaves(almost circular) and a bird nest fern.....I think this 2 plants are very common and should be quite easy to care for...But would appreciate some help if you've grown these 2 plants before like how much to water..sun etc etc...Will include pictures soon

They are so care-free and hardy it's a challenge to kill them. Your ixora seems like a small plant. You just need to water it when it's dry or hot and maybe trim the dead branches and flowers. The bird nest fern is easy too, just don't let it dry out.

Hey aaron...The ixora is about 3 feet tall...From all the pictures i've seen the ixora has lanced shape or well normal looking leaves...Mine has really tiny leaves about 1cm but it covers all the stems....Sort of circular. Im trying to keep the fern out of direct sun since they're sort of jungle plants

I put my fern under the shade of my palms and roof. My ixora is a big variety. The leaves are like mango leaves.

It could be adapting to the new conditions. Don't worry too much unless the leaves start dropping or turn brown rapidly.
