Rabbit's foot fern is a perennial plant that, like others in the Davallia genus, has lacy upright fronds with a delightful, quirky trait—they grow from creeping scaly rhizomes that are covered with a fine, fur-like mat of hairs. These ferns are usually epiphytic (growing on other plants and absorbing nutrients and moisture through the air). Rabbit's foot fern are frequently grown as hanging or potted plants with the exposed hairy roots spilling out of the container or pinned to the sides of moss baskets.
Rabbit's foot fern grows best in humid conditions, out of direct light, in a slightly acidic potting mix, and thrives in temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Read on for our care guide.
Here are the main care requirements for growing a rabbit's foot fern:
- Do not bury a majority of the rhizomes under the soil when planting, letting most of them grow uncontrolled or cascading from the container. Letting some of the rhizomes dive into the potting mix may be unavoidable.
- Give plants ample water and mist the rhizomes daily if not grown in a humid room.
- Flush the soil of accumulated fertilizer salts at least once a year. Soak the root ball to clean out fertilizer if you desire.
