Microsorum thailandicum 'Giant' (large form)

Microsorum thailandicum is a rare exotic fern native to Thailand—one of the few plant varieties on the planet with naturally blue (metallic blue) leaves. It became famous after being used as natural decor in the making of the film Avatar, and despite its highly exotic appearance and the fact that it is a truly rare plant, it has proven to be very easy to grow.
Growing recommendations: Lower light, medium to high humidity. It is considered a hardy fern that adapts easily to environmental conditions while retaining its color. It is ideal for a terrarium, but it also grows well in apartment conditions. Misting and maintaining high humidity help intensify its color.
It can also be grown as an epiphyte or lithophyte, provided adequate humidity is maintained.
Propagation is carried out through spores (usually found on the underside of the leaf) or through rhizomes, which 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 dose indicated on the packaging.

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

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