Crocodile Fern (Microsorum musifolium ‘Crocodyllus’)
Named for its striking, scale-like leaf texture, the Crocodile Fern is a showstopper. Its long, leathery fronds have a deep green color and a pattern that looks just like reptile skin—unusual, bold, and surprisingly easy to care for. It’s a great option for adding texture to a humid spot in your home without the high-maintenance fuss of other ferns.
Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light—can handle some lower light
💧 Water: Keep soil evenly moist; don’t let it dry out completely
🌫 Humidity: Loves humidity—ideal for bathrooms or near a humidifier
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes
Fun Fact: Despite its tropical look, Crocodile Ferns are more tolerant of indoor conditions than many other ferns, making them a good choice for plant parents who’ve struggled with Boston or maidenhair types.
