Microsorum musifolium Crocodyllus - Crocodile fern

Microsorum musifolium ‘Crocodyllus’ — also known as the Crocodile Fern — is a striking tropical fern named for its unique, textured leaves that resemble crocodile skin. The bright green fronds have a distinctive, scale-like pattern that adds amazing visual interest and a true rainforest feel to terrariums and vivariums.

This fern thrives in warm, humid environments with low to medium indirect light. It prefers a moist, well-draining substrate and benefits from regular misting, making it ideal for tropical or bioactive setups. Unlike more delicate ferns, it’s relatively hardy and adapts well to the stable humidity inside enclosed tanks.

Perfect as a mid-ground or feature plant, Microsorum musifolium ‘Crocodyllus’ brings bold texture and a wild, natural look—great for amphibian, reptile, or invertebrate habitats.
