Know before you buy
This fern is best known for its fuzzy, creeping rhizomes that grow over the edge of the pot, which resemble rabbit's feet. Its delicate, lacy fronds provide a soft, airy texture that works beautifully in hanging baskets.
The Rabbit's Foot Fern prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate foliage, or in deep shade, which will slow its growth.
No, the Rabbit's Foot Fern is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
Maintain a moderate watering schedule, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Because these ferns enjoy high humidity, misting the foliage or placing it in a bathroom can help keep the fronds healthy.
Yes, it arrives established in a standard grower pot with drainage holes. While it is ready to go, you can easily place the grower pot inside a decorative cachepot or transfer it to a hanging basket to highlight its trailing habit.
Use a standard soluble fertilizer during the growing season. Mix one teaspoon of fertilizer per gallon of water to provide the necessary nutrients for lush, healthy foliage.
