Plant background Microsorum thailandicum is a rare exotic fern native to Thailand and is one of the few plant species in the world with naturally blue (metallic blue) leaves. This striking colour is not a discolouration or artificial feature, but a unique natural phenomenon. The “Giant” variety is distinguished by its larger and wider leaves compared to Microsorum thailandicum. In the wild, this plant grows as an epiphyte on trees and rocks in humid, shady rainforests in Thailand. Due to its slow growth and limited availability, this fern is considered an exclusive and sought-after collector's plant.
