Microsorum musifolium 'Crocodyllus', commonly known as the Crocodile Fern, is a distinctive fern admired for its unique, scale-like fronds that resemble reptilian skin. Native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia and Australia, this fern thrives in warm, humid environments. Unlike the finely divided fronds of most ferns, its broad, leathery foliage adds a bold, architectural element to indoor spaces and shaded gardens.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.
Humidity: High humidity is essential; misting or a pebble tray can help maintain moisture levels.
Media: A well-draining, organic-rich potting mix with good moisture retention is ideal.
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 27°C; avoid exposure to cold drafts.
Fertiliser: Feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when roots become crowded.
