Quick Guide
- Unique 'crocodile skin' foliage
- Thrives in humid conditions
- Low light tolerant
- Easy to care for
- Perfect for terrariums
The Microsorum Crocodyllus, commonly known as the Crocodile Fern, is a distinctive and fascinating houseplant, cherished for its unusual foliage that resembles crocodile skin. The plant features long, arching fronds with a textured pattern, giving it a reptilian appearance. This lush green fern adds an exotic touch and a sense of depth to any indoor space.
Its aesthetic appeal makes it a perfect addition to terrariums or as a stand-alone piece in living rooms, studies, or bathrooms, especially in places where its intricate leaf pattern can be appreciated up close. The Crocodile Fern harmonises beautifully with other moisture-loving plants like the Boston Fern or Peace Lily, creating a vibrant, green ensemble.
Typically, the Crocodile Fern reaches a moderate size, making it suitable for indoor environments. It prefers indirect light and consistently moist soil, mimicking its natural rainforest habitat. This plant is particularly effective in purifying the air and increasing humidity, making it both a beautiful and beneficial presence in your home.
Plant Care Guide
Caring for the Crocodile Fern is straightforward. It thrives in humid environments, so regular misting is beneficial. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, avoiding waterlogging. It prefers low to medium indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight which can scorch its leaves. A temperature range between 16-24°C is ideal, with protection from drafts. Feeding with a diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season can encourage lush growth. No special tools are required beyond a watering can and a mister.
