Complete Care Guide

  • Bright, indirect light promotes healthy rhizome development and lacy frond growth
  • East or north-facing windows provide ideal growing conditions
  • Tolerates lower light but may produce fewer fuzzy rhizomes
  • Perfect for naturally lit bathrooms and bright kitchens
  • Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the delicate lacy fronds
  • Keep soil lightly moist but never waterlogged - fuzzy rhizomes can rot if too wet
  • Water when top inch of soil feels dry to touch
  • Use filtered, distilled, or rainwater for best results
  • Water around the edges, avoiding the fuzzy rhizomes directly
  • Reduce watering frequency during winter months when growth slows
  • High humidity: 50-70% for optimal fuzzy rhizome health and lacy frond development
  • Temperature range: 65-75°F (18-24°C) with consistent warmth
  • Thrives in naturally humid bathrooms and kitchens
  • Use humidity trays, grouping with other plants, or room humidifiers
  • Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes that stress rhizomes
  • Use well-draining, chunky potting mix with excellent aeration for rhizomes
  • Shallow, wide pots work better than deep ones for spreading rhizomes
  • Feed monthly during growing season with diluted liquid fertilizer
  • Repot every 2-3 years or when rhizomes outgrow container
  • Perfect for hanging baskets to showcase cascading fuzzy feet
  • Excellent air purifier removing toxins while adding whimsical charm
  • Delicate lacy fronds provide good surface area for air cleaning
  • Remove brown or damaged fronds by cutting at the base
  • Gently dust fuzzy rhizomes with a soft brush to maintain their appeal
  • Propagates by division of rhizomes - each fuzzy section can become a new plant

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the fuzzy "rabbit feet" safe to touch?
Absolutely! The fuzzy rhizomes are completely safe to gently touch and stroke. Children especially love the soft, tactile experience. Just be gentle as these are living parts of the plant that store nutrients and water for the fern.
Why are my rabbit feet turning brown or losing their fuzz?
Brown, less-fuzzy rhizomes usually indicate overwatering, low humidity, or natural aging. Ensure good drainage, increase humidity, and avoid getting the rhizomes too wet. New fuzzy growth should appear from the growing tips with proper care.
Can I propagate my Rabbit's Foot Fern?
Yes! Each fuzzy rhizome section with fronds can be carefully divided to create new plants. Simply cut sections with clean scissors and plant them in their own containers. The fuzzy rhizomes will continue growing and producing new fronds.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Yes! Davallia ferns are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their touchable fuzzy rhizomes and delicate lacy foliage safely throughout their home.
How do I display this fern to show off the fuzzy feet?
Hanging baskets or elevated plant stands work perfectly to showcase the cascading fuzzy rhizomes. Position where the "rabbit feet" can dangle over the edges, creating a living sculpture that guests will love to admire and gently touch.
