Fern 'Crocodile'

Fern 'Crocodile'

Botanical Name: Microsorum musifolium

Common Name(s): Crocodile Fern

Description: The Crocodile Fern (Microsorum musifolium) is a show-stopping houseplant with leaves that truly live up to its name! 

Its textured, leathery foliage mimics the distinctive pattern of crocodile skin, making it a standout among fern varieties. Native to Southeast Asia and parts of Australia, this tropical beauty adds an exotic touch to any space with its unique appearance and deep green color.

Though it’s a slow grower, the Crocodile Fern can reach up to 5 feet in height, making it a fantastic statement plant. However, it does have a bit of a diva streak—it thrives in high humidity, warm temperatures, and indirect light. Regular misting and a well-draining soil mix will keep it happy. If you’re up for the challenge, this fern will reward you with lush, textured foliage that brings a jungle-like vibe to your home. 

For fern lovers who enjoy something a little wild, the Crocodile Fern is a must-have!
