Just bought one online and came here to find out how to care for it! Thank you so much for this gem There aren't enough videos on these ferns out there

I saw this fern in the Philippines growing in boulders in small streams. You are right, those under direct sun, they are green and narrow. Those in shade, they have that blue leaves. They form runners or stolons, like those of boston fern.

Thanks so much for this video! I have one arriving tomorrow and needed some quick help figuring out how to care for it.

Hello Blue Oil Fern! Nice to meet you!

Thanks for sharing. I just have one still learnt how to grow them👏🌻🌼❤️🙏🙏🙏

Could we please get updates? It's very difficult to get information about its growth habit from experienced growers. Based what my seller said and how long I've had mine, a new leaf takes 2 to 3 months to appear. It's as if as fern dreamed of being a cactus lol. It seems to respond well to light under 600 footcandles: I aim a goosneck lamp in its direction with the plant placed under the beam so none of the light is direct. The color is exactly as you have shown here! People saying the color is more green almost certainly are using too bright light but we'll see. I am using a wicking system to water my fern. It's in a hypertufa bowl (type of cement) with gravel on the bottom, and 25% potting soil with equal parts vermiculite and coconut chips. My seller says any aroid mix will work, which so far seems to be the case. These apparently grow in rotting trees so I did my best to replicate that.

i have both thailandicum and siamensis. For thailandicum, I kept it in full shade for a few weeks, but it didn't seem to doing anything. Another video said that some full sun is needed. So I gradually exposed it full morning sun from 7 to 11 (anything after 11 can burn). In about a week, I could see new growth nubs. The older leaves also thickened and developed that blue sheen. I fertilize it weekly very weakly, and keep it semi hydro - I can see that the roots are growing out of the pot into the water. For siamensis, I tried the same set up, but it is not responding as well. Looking at the plant, the leaves are thinner and broader, so I guess it appreciates more indirect sunlight (vs thailandicum which is thick and hard like a succulent)? I will shift and monitor.

Begonia pavonina (Malaysia), Cebu Blue pothos (Philippines), and Microsorum Thailandicum (Thailand) would look great together in a terrarium or green wall.

Interesting plant; I've never heard of it before 😯🙂

Hi! I was wondering if you had any experience with the spores. Also any update on your plant

Which other blue plants do you have? #blueplants #blueoilfern #microsorumthailandicum

This is so so lovely. I just found out about them. Want one badly & everyone is out in the states.🙁💙🪴
