Botanical description

Microsorum musifolium comes from southern Myanmar to New Guinea and grows there mainly as an epiphyte on trees.

Appearance.

The leaves are elongated, crispy and have a distinct pattern resembling crocodile skin with their dark green veins. Crocodile fern is a compact plant that can reach a height of about 30-50 cm.

Care.

To keep your crocodile fern lush and healthy, plant it in a well-drained soil mix, such as our Soil Mix which contains coco coir, bark and perlite to mimic its natural epiphytic environment. Place it in light shade or indirect light, as direct sun can damage the delicate leaves. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist.
