Crocodile Fern
(aka Microsorum musifolium ‘Crocodyllus’ )
Location:
I am originally from New Guinea & Malaysia
Looks:
I have mid green fresh looking fronds that resemble that of a crocodile’s skin
Height:
I am a fast grower and can grow up to 2m tall
Environment:
Like most ferns I like low levels of light or indirect sunlight. A northern or Eastern facing windowsill will provide the best exposure
Flowers:
I don't have any flowers
Grooming:
Take off any unsightly leaves as required and trim off crowded fronds to encourage air flow and reduce the chance of fungal infections
Life Span:
I can last a long time - just plant me up each year into a bigger pot
Feeding:
I like plenty of water, water me whenever my soil feels dry to touch, but make sure I have adequate drainage
Fact:
I am an epiphyte which means in my natural surroundings I grow on trees
