Squirrel's Foot Fern (Davallia fejeensis)
The Squirrel's Foot Fern is a fascinating and easy-to-grow houseplant, recognized for its fuzzy, silvery rhizomes that resemble a squirrel’s foot. These creeping rhizomes spill over the edges of pots, creating an intriguing display, while the lush, feathery green fronds add a tropical vibe to any indoor space.
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates moderate shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate fronds.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the plant dry out completely.
Humidity: Loves high humidity. Mist frequently, or place near a humidifier to prevent fronds from browning.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18–24°C. Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Care Tip: Avoid covering the rhizomes with soil, as they thrive when exposed to light and air.
The Squirrel's Foot Fern is perfect for hanging baskets or elevated planters, showcasing its charming rhizomes and delicate foliage. A conversation-worthy addition to any indoor plant collection!
