Fern 'Rabbit's Foot'

Fern 'Rabbit's Foot'

Botanical Name: Davallia fejeensis

Common Name(s): Rabbit's foot fern, hare's foot fern

Description: The Rabbit’s Foot Fern, native to the lush Fiji Islands, is a truly unique houseplant that brings a touch of exotic beauty to any indoor space. 

Its soft, lightweight leaves are intricately shaped, creating a delicate appearance that is sure to catch the eye. What truly sets this fern apart are the “furry” rhizomes that grow out of the soil and down the sides of the pot, giving it the look of a bunny’s foot – hence the name! These rhizomes add a whimsical touch, making it a popular choice for hanging displays, where they can be shown off in all their glory.

Caring for this fern requires a little more attention than other ferns – it thrives in indirect sunlight and needs constantly moist soil to stay happy. Mist or shower the leaves regularly to prevent them from drying out. 

With proper care, the Rabbit’s Foot Fern can grow up to 3-4 feet tall, creating a stunning display of greenery in your home.
