The rabbit's foot fern (Davallia fejeensis), also called lacy paw or Fijian hare's foot fern, is a charming epiphytic fern native to Fiji. Its most distinctive feature is the creeping, furry rhizomes—covered in soft, silver-brown scales—that crawl over the pot's edge like little animal paws. From these rise delicate, finely divided, lime-green fronds up to 18 inches long, creating a lacy, airy mound.
Bright, indirect light; no direct sun. Well-draining, organic-rich mix (orchid bark, peat, perlite). Keep evenly moist but not soggy; rhizomes rot if buried. High humidity appreciated. Fertilize lightly in growing season. Minimum 55°F (13°C); USDA zones 10–11 outdoors.
