Microsorum thailandicum 'Giant' (large form)

Microsorum thailandicum is a rare exotic fern native to Thailand - one of the few varieties with naturally blue (metallic blue) leaves on the planet. It became famous after being used as natural decor in the making of the movie Avatar, and despite its very exotic appearance and the fact that it is truly a rare plant, it is also very easy to grow.
Growing recommendations: Lower light, medium-high humidity. It is considered a hardy fern that easily adapts to environmental conditions while retaining its color. An ideal plant for terrariums, but it also grows well in apartment conditions. Spraying and maintaining high humidity help enhance the color.
It can also be grown as an epiphytic or lithophytic plant, as long as proper humidity is ensured.
Plant propagation is done through spores (usually found on the back of the leaf) or through rhizomes that can later be divided. When propagation is desired, planting in Sphagnum Moss in a terrarium with a controlled microclimate is recommended, although propagation can also occur spontaneously under normal conditions.
Fertilization can be done with a very diluted orchid fertilizer. Many growers use only 10% of the dosage indicated on the package.

Watering should be done by thorough misting – this fern has shallow surface roots and is sensitive to overwatering.

📌 Note: Microsorum thailandicum is a delicate decorative fern, valued for its bluish-metallic reflective foliage, but the leaves may show natural imperfections, spots, handling marks, slightly affected edges, dry tips, or partially damaged leaves, especially after transport. These aspects are common in plants with fine foliage and do not necessarily indicate a viability problem. The plant gradually adapts to the new environment, and new leaves will develop depending on light, humidity, and the stability of growing conditions.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.
