Crocodile Fern Microsorum Musifolium Crocodyllus

Despite its exotic looks, the Crocodile Fern is surprisingly low-maintenance and well-suited for indoor life. It’s perfect for adding lush, textured greenery to living spaces, offices, or even terrariums with ample space and humidity. This species is particularly well-suited for kokedama, a traditional Japanese planting technique that involves wrapping the plant’s roots in moss balls. It can also be placed in an open or closed terrarium to create a miniature garden inside your home.
