I couldn't resist getting part of the dismantled cloud forest exhibit at the Denver Botanic Gardens plant sale. I came home with four huge tropical plants and now find I need advice on keeping them happy and healthy. They are currently crammed into my office where they get filtered light through a couple of large windows with light filtering shades. The plants are:

Birds Nest Fern (Asplenium nidus),
Philodendron (P. binnatifium)
Crocodile Fern (Microsorum musifolium 'Crocodyllus')
Dieffenbachia sp

Any advice on light, water, nutrients, type of soil, etc. to keep them happy indoors would be appreciated
