    Rabbit's Foot Fern

    Botanical Name: Davallia fejeensis
    Common Name(s): Rabbit’s Foot Fern, Hare’s Foot Fern, Squirrel’s Foot Fern

    The Rabbit’s Foot Fern is a charming and whimsical fern known for its soft, fuzzy rhizomes that creep over the surface of the soil and pot, resembling a rabbit’s paw. This feature gives the plant a playful, tactile quality that makes it especially beloved among houseplant collectors. Its finely divided, bright green fronds form a light, airy canopy, while the furry rhizomes spill over the edges of pots or hanging baskets, adding a unique texture and visual interest.

    Native to the Fiji Islands, the Rabbit’s Foot Fern is an epiphytic plant, meaning it often grows on rocks or trees in its natural habitat. Indoors, it remains relatively compact, typically growing 1–2 feet (30–60 cm) tall and wide, though its rhizomes can spread farther over time. This fern is ideal for hanging planters or elevated pots where its fuzzy "feet" can be showcased and appreciated.

    The Rabbit’s Foot Fern thrives in bright, indirect light and should be protected from direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate fronds. It tolerates moderate light as well, making it adaptable to many indoor spaces. Optimal temperature range is between 60–75°F (15–24°C), and like most tropical ferns, it should be kept away from cold drafts, heating vents, and sudden temperature shifts.

    This fern prefers a lightweight, well-draining potting mix—such as one formulated for epiphytes or a combination of peat, perlite, and bark. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil begins to dry, and avoid letting the rhizomes sit in water, as this can lead to rot. It’s best to water around the base of the plant, allowing the soil to absorb the moisture evenly.

    Rabbit’s Foot Ferns enjoy moderate to high humidity and will appreciate occasional misting, especially in drier environments. A humidity tray or placing the plant in a naturally humid room, like a bathroom, can also support healthy growth. While not as fussy as some other ferns, consistent humidity helps prevent the frond tips from browning.

    Note: The Rabbit’s Foot Fern is non-toxic to pets and people, making it a safe and friendly choice for households with cats, dogs, or small children.

    Care Insights & Expert Tips

    Bright, indirect light: This plant prefers plenty of light to maintain its light green color. Can tolerate lower light levels but it will slow growth. Avoid direct sunlight.

    Water

    Water once a week: This plant requires watering only once a week or when the top 1-2 inches of the soil is dry. Allow roots to dry out completely before watering.

    Warm temperatures: This plant prefer temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C) with low to moderate humidity. Sensitive to the cold and extreme heat.

      1. Handle Gently: Due to its delicate nature, it should be handled gently and placed in a location where it won’t be brushed or bumped frequently.
      2. Handle the Rhizomes with care: The rhizomes may be tempting to touch, but they are delicate and should be handled gently to avoid damage.  
      3. Prune regularly: Prune dead or yellowing fronds to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's tidy appearance.
