The Crocodile Fern (Microsorum Crocodyllus) is a unique and striking fern species, named for its crocodile skin-like texture on the surface of its fronds, this fern adds an exotic touch to any indoor garden.
This fern thrives in warm, humid environments, making it an ideal choice for indoor cultivation. To ensure the well-being of your Crocodile Fern, consider the following care tips:
Light: Filtered or indirect light, it will thrive in moderate to bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering again.
Humidity: Crocodile Ferns prefer high humidity levels. Regularly mist the foliage or place a tray of water near the plant to create a humid microclimate. This is especially important if you live in a dry climate.
Feeding: Fertilize your Crocodile Fern every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
