The Crocodile Fern (Microsorum musifolium) is a striking houseplant known for its unique, reptile-like foliage. Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and Australia, this fern is named for its distinctive leaves, which have a textured, leathery appearance that resembles the scales of a crocodile. The broad, glossy green fronds grow in a slightly wavy pattern, adding a bold, exotic touch to any indoor space. Indoors, the Crocodile Fern can reach about 2-3 feet in height and width, making it a stunning focal point for a living room or office.
