Crocodile Fern (Microsorum musifolium 'Crocodyllus'): A Textured Delight

The Crocodile Fern, also known as Microsorum musifolium 'Crocodyllus', is a unique and eye-catching fern with fronds that resemble crocodile skin. Its leathery, dark green leaves have a distinctive raised texture with prominent veins, giving them a rugged and reptilian appearance. This fern is native to Southeast Asia and Australia and is a popular choice for adding a touch of the exotic to any indoor space.

Caring for Your Crocodile Fern:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the fronds.
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
• Temperature: Maintain average room temperatures and avoid cold drafts.
• Humidity: This fern prefers higher humidity levels. Regular misting or placing the pot on a pebble tray can help.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that is rich in organic matter.

With its unique texture and relatively easy care, the Crocodile Fern is a captivating addition to any houseplant collection.
