2" Rabbit Foot Fern (Davallia fejeensis)

$6.99

The Rabbit Foot Fern (*Davallia fejeensis*), known for its unique fuzzy rhizomes that resemble a rabbit's foot, is a charming fern species that makes an excellent houseplant. Here are care instructions to help you maintain a healthy Rabbit Foot Fern:

1. Light: Rabbit Foot Ferns prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some morning sun or filtered sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight, especially intense afternoon sun, which can scorch their delicate fronds. A north or east-facing window is typically ideal for indoor plants.

2. Temperature: Keep your Rabbit Foot Fern in moderate temperatures ranging from 60-75°F (16-24°C). They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures down to 50°F (10°C) but avoid drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

3. Humidity: These ferns thrive in high humidity. Regular misting of the fronds or placing the pot on a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles can help maintain adequate moisture levels. A room humidifier can also be beneficial, especially in dry indoor environments.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water your Rabbit Foot Fern thoroughly when the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil feels dry to the touch. Use room-temperature water and avoid letting the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.

5. **Soil**: Plant your Rabbit Foot Fern in a well-draining potting mix that retains moisture. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and pine bark or orchid bark works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating around the roots.

6. Fertilizing: Feed your Rabbit Foot Fern with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows down.

7. Pruning: Trim any yellow or dead fronds at the base of the plant to maintain its appearance and encourage new growth. Remove debris or spent foliage regularly to keep the plant clean and healthy.

8. Potting: Repot your Rabbit Foot Fern every 1-2 years to refresh the potting mix and provide more space for growth. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage.

9. Pests: Monitor your Rabbit Foot Fern for common pests such as spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

10. Propagation: Rabbit Foot Ferns can be propagated by division. During repotting, carefully divide the plant into smaller sections, ensuring each division has healthy rhizomes and fronds. Plant the divisions in separate pots with fresh potting mix.

By following these care instructions, you can enjoy a thriving Rabbit Foot Fern in your indoor environment. Its unique appearance and relatively low maintenance make it a popular choice among fern enthusiasts and indoor plant lovers alike.
