(Microsorum musifolium), aka the crocodyllus fern or alligator fern
An exotic and statement-making houseplant. With its strikingly textured foliage resembling crocodile skin, it’s easy to see how this plant got its common name.
Native to tropical forests in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia, the crocodile fern thrives in warm, humid environments with bright, filtered light. With the right care, these ferns can grow up to 5 feet tall and make an unforgettable addition to any indoor plant collection.
