Microsorum musifolium 'Crocodyllus' | Crocodile Fern
The crocodile ferns are pretty low maintenance and can be grown in a variety of conditions. They prefer bright but filtered light and hot and humid environments making them ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Keep out of direct sun when it's at its strongest and away from any draughts.
Make sure the the soil is fairly moist, but never soggy and always allow at least the top 30% of soil to dry out between waterings.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
