Davallia fejeensis, commonly known as Rabbit’s Foot Fern, is an evergreen fern native to the tropical forest floors of the Fiji Islands, where it thrives in the humid and dappled light conditions. This fern is characterized by its distinctive, furry rhizomes that creep over the soil and resemble a rabbit’s foot, which is the origin of its common name. It typically grows up to 2 feet in height and width, with delicate, finely divided fronds that emerge from the rhizomes.

Rabbit’s Foot Fern is appreciated for its unique aesthetic, with the rhizomes adding an exotic touch to indoor plant collections. It is often used in hanging baskets or as a tabletop plant due to its relatively small size and attractive foliage. This fern requires consistent moisture but is sensitive to overwatering, so well-draining soil is essential. It prefers temperatures between 60-75ºF (15-24ºC) and should not be exposed to temperatures below 55ºF (13ºC). It is relatively easy to maintain if provided with the right environment, making it a popular choice for indoor gardeners.CC BY-SA 4.0
