Microsorum thailandicum, known as the blue oil fern, is a rare Southeast Asian epiphyte admired for its shimmering, iridescent blue-green fronds that glow in low light. It thrives in high humidity (60–80%), low to moderate indirect light, and temperatures between 18–28°C, making it ideal for terrariums or shaded indoor setups. Use a chunky, well-draining mix of orchid bark and perlite, keep roots consistently moist with pure water, and avoid direct sun or dry spells to preserve its vivid coloration and delicate growth.
