Crocodile Fern Live Plant 4-Inch – Microsorum musifolium

Crocodile Fern (Microsorum musifolium 'Crocodyllus') is an evergreen fern known for glossy, leathery fronds with a distinctive textured appearance. Its broad foliage makes it an attractive choice for indoor plant collections and shaded outdoor spaces in suitable climates.

This listing includes one live Crocodile Fern in a 4-inch nursery growing pot. The seller specifies a plant size of 4–6 inches tall. The plant ships without the nursery pot, so the growing container shown or used before shipment is not included.

Approx. 4–6 inches tall at time of shipping.

Crocodile Fern prefers medium to bright indirect light, moderate watering, and consistently moist but well-draining loamy soil. It is listed for subtropical, temperate, and tropical climates.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
