finely divided fronds arch gracefully from this Rabbit's Foot Fern, but its real signature is underneath: soft, furry rhizomes creep along the soil surface and over the rim of the pot, resembling little rabbit's feet, which is exactly where the name comes from. Native to Fiji, it's a relaxed, slow-to-moderate grower with an airy, delicate look that's a bit more textural than a typical houseplant fern. Potted here in a whimsical owl-print ceramic tea cup.
Davallia fejeensis prefers bright, indirect light and steady, moderate moisture.
