Rabbit's Foot Fern

Description:
Rabbit’s Foot Fern is a unique and easy-to-care-for fern known for its soft, fuzzy rhizomes that resemble a rabbit’s foot. These creeping rhizomes grow over the edges of the pot, adding an interesting textural element to the plant’s appearance. Its delicate, feathery green fronds bring a lush, tropical feel to indoor spaces. Unlike some ferns, this variety is relatively hardy and adaptable, making it a fantastic choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring thorough drainage to prevent root rot. Avoid letting the rhizomes sit in water, as they can become susceptible to rot.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer). Reduce feeding in Fall and Winter when growth naturally slows.

Lighting:
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light conditions but will grow more slowly. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate fronds.

Temperature:
Prefers temperatures between 60-75°F (16-24°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes, as these can stress the plant.

Humidity:
Loves high humidity! Ideal levels are above 50%. If your home is dry, consider misting regularly, placing the plant near a humidity tray, or using a humidifier to maintain moisture levels.
