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
