Rabbit's Foot Fern (Humata tyermanii): When & How to Repot

Don't Repot Until You See These Signs

Rabbit's Foot Ferns prefer being slightly potbound. Repot only if:

• Water runs straight through without wetting the root ball.
• Rhizomes (furry "feet") are cracking the pot.
• Plant dries out daily despite proper watering.

If Repotting Is Needed

1. Choose a pot 1–2 inches wider—shallow, wide pots suit creeping rhizomes.
2. Use peat-based mix with perlite; keep rhizomes on surface.
3. Water thoroughly after; then let top ½ inch dry before next watering.
