Crocodile Fern

The Crocodile Fern differs from many in appearance because of its spear-like shaped leaves with wavy edges and a unique pattern that resembles the scales of a crocodile rather than feather or palm-like fronds. Although native to tropical regions – the Crocodile Fern roots itself on trees have adapted very well to growing in temperate regions as a house plant.

Crocodile ferns appearance can bring to mind a seaweed plant growing on dry land.They are epiphytic ferns, which means in the wild they will grow on other living things, such as tree trunks. When you buy it as a houseplant, it will be planted in a container, but it can easily be attached to wooden planks and hung on a wall much like staghorn fern.
