Botanical description

Microsorum musifolium comes from southern Myanmar to New Guinea and grows there primarily as an epiphyte on trees.

Care

To keep the crocodile fern lush and healthy, plant it in a well-draining soil mixture, such as our Soil Mix which contains coconut fiber, bark, and perlite to mimic its natural epiphytic environment. Place it in light shade or indirect light, as direct sun can damage the delicate leaves. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist.
