The Crocodile Fern is a striking plant known for its uniquely textured fronds that resemble the scales of a crocodile. Its vibrant green color and undulating foliage make it a captivating addition to any indoor jungle.
Light Needs: Crocodile Ferns prefer bright, indirect light. They thrive in locations with filtered sunlight or partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their delicate fronds. They can also tolerate lower light conditions but may grow slower.
Water Needs: Keep the soil of your Crocodile Fern consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring water drains freely from the pot to prevent root rot. Mist the foliage regularly to maintain humidity.
Humidity Needs: Crocodile Ferns appreciate high humidity levels. Aim for humidity around 50-60% to mimic their natural tropical habitat. Increase humidity by misting the foliage daily or placing a humidifier nearby. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
