🐊 Can you grow a Crocodile? This is how to grow an Alligator...

Microsorum musifolium - Alligator Fern, or Crocodile Fern - is from Australasia.

Grows to 2-3 ft in height. Grow it as a houseplant, or plant under a tree.

🌳 Perfect for shade! Likes a sheltered, semi-shaded location, with no direct sunlight.
