Might not get big but he sure does make up for it in personality, meet the newest member of my family….Microsorum thailandicum (Blue oil fern)!!!!!
Now how do I keep him alive? Lol vendor said: low light, well draining soil, hugh humidity. Sound about right? I currently have him behind some plants in my sunroom in the far corner so it's bright in the room but is always in the shade.
TIA for the advice!

I keep mine in the IKEA Akerbar mini greenhouse with a mini humidifier (but no fan).
I have had mine since July this year. And I put him in moss in a (big) shot glass; there’s no drainage holes. He seems to like it though because he put out a couple of new growth.
To my knowledge it’s usually sold as a terrarium plant. These guys with a passion for blue plants always offer detailed care instructions: [https://www.jungle-leaves.de/produkt/microsorum-thailandicum-blue-oil-fern/?lang=en](https://www.jungle-leaves.de/produkt/microsorum-thailandicum-blue-oil-fern/?lang=en)
I have mine in a humid atmosphere. I have it in a jar actually with small holes for it to breathe. It likes to have moist soil but not wet.
