Microsorum thailandicum is characterized by thick, leathery leaves, 15-25 cm long, slightly wavy on the edges. Its texture is more rigid than other Microsorum. It grows slowly and remains modest in size. Like all ferns of this genus, it is an epiphyte that prefers to be attached rather than planted. It tolerates variable water conditions. Propagation is by rhizome division or by cuttings of plantlets.
