Microsorum Crocodyllus "Crocodile Fern" Small

Microsorum crocodyllus, commonly known as Crocodile Fern or Crocodyllus Fern, is a unique and attractive fern species appreciated for its distinctive textured fronds resembling crocodile skin. Microsorum crocodyllus is characterized by its striking fronds that have a textured surface resembling crocodile skin. The fronds are typically dark green with lighter green markings and can grow up to 12 inches long. The undersides of the fronds are often a lighter shade of green.

Crocodile Ferns are well-suited for various indoor settings, including hanging baskets, terrariums, and as part of mixed plant arrangements. They can also be grown outdoors in warm, humid climates as ground cover or in shaded garden beds.

• Light: Microsorum crocodyllus prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight or artificial light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate fronds.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch, and ensure that excess water can drain freely from the pot. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely.

• Fertilization: Feed Microsorum crocodyllus with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when growth slows down.

• Pruning: Trim back any brown or damaged fronds as needed to maintain the plant's appearance and overall health. You can also remove any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth.
