☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Crocodile Fern thrives in medium, indirect light. It’s ideal to place it near a window with filtered sunlight, as direct sun can scorch the leaves. East or north-facing windows are perfect spots for this unique plant.
? Water
??▫️ (Medium)
Water your Crocodile Fern when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Consistency is key—try to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.
?️ Temperature
?️?️▫️ (Average)
Crocodile Ferns prefer average room temperatures between 16-24°C. Avoid placing your plant near drafts, such as open windows or air conditioners, especially during the colder months.
? Humidity
??? (High)
This fern loves humidity! To keep it happy, mist the leaves regularly or place it in a naturally humid environment like a kitchen or bathroom. A humidity tray or a small humidifier can also work wonders.
? Repotting
Crocodile Ferns enjoy snug pots, but you should consider repotting every 2-3 years to refresh the soil. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for ferns. Spring is the best time to repot, as the plant will be entering its active growth phase.
? Pet Friendliness
This plant is non-toxic and safe for pets and children, making it a worry-free choice for pet owners!
? Recommended Locations at Home
Due to its need for medium light and high humidity, the Crocodile Fern is perfect in well-lit bathrooms, kitchens, or near north or east-facing windows. It’s also an ideal plant for terrariums, especially in less humid rooms.
? Air Purifying
The Crocodile Fern is not only stylish but also functional. It acts as a natural air purifier, removing common household toxins from the air, thus improving your indoor air quality.
✨ Other Plant Features
Beyond its air-purifying abilities, the Crocodile Fern is celebrated for its distinct, textured fronds that resemble crocodile skin. It’s a fantastic conversation starter and adds a touch of the wild to any indoor space.
