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.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid overwatering. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Soil: Thrives in well-draining, rich potting mix with added organic matter.
• Humidity: Loves high humidity; mist regularly or place near a humidifier to maintain leaf health.
• Temperature: Ideal range is 65°F to 80°F. Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

PET FRIENDLY: NON-toxic to dogs and cats according to the ASPCA
