Davallia fejeensis, commonly called rabbit’s foot fern, is a tropical fern native to Fiji known for its soft, creeping rhizomes that grow over the surface of the soil and resemble furry “rabbit feet.” What makes this plant special is those exposed rhizomes paired with delicate, finely divided fronds, giving it a textured, layered look both above and below the soil line.
Light should be gentle and consistent to support healthy fronds. Place it in an east or north-facing window where it gets steady light without direct sun hitting the foliage. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 12–18 inches from the top of the plant. In lower light, growth slows and fronds become thinner. Strong, even light keeps the plant fuller and more balanced.
Watering needs to stay consistent with moderate moisture. Allow the top portion of the soil to dry slightly, then water thoroughly and let it drain, using a mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark to keep airflow while holding moisture. Keep the rhizomes above the soil and avoid keeping them constantly wet. If fronds crisp or dry out, it’s reacting to low humidity or drying too far. If rhizomes become soft or dark, the plant is staying too wet rather than needing more water.

Beautiful plants I always buy my plants through rooted plant shop. that’s my go to shop
The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.
My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.
This arrived in great shape and vibrant color. Will be ordering again.
What a cool way to discover new plants! I love it!
I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
Beautiful plant. Shipping was great. Plant was well protected for shipping. Even came with an instruction card on what you should do when the plant you unpacked it.
