Description: The Davallia genus of ferns includes about three dozen species of ferns that all share a quirky and kind of delightful trait: they all grow from creeping rhizomes that are fuzzy and covered with a fine, fur-like mat of hairs. This fuzzy rhizome has earned the Davallia species their common names: deer's foot ferns, squirrel's foot ferns, and rabbit's foot fern, among others. In indoor cultivation, they are frequently grown as hanging plants or long-term potted plants. Although the rhizomes do extend below the surface of the soil, they should never be buried. These roots serve something of the same function as orchid roots. They cling to surfaces and draw moisture and nutrients from the air and environment. These are shade-loving or at the very least shade-tolerant plants. Indoors, a north-facing or east-facing window would be ideal. Never expose them to direct sunlight unless they've been carefully acclimated. They can also be grown well under artificial lights. These ferns love humidity and will require both frequent watering and misting. It's important not to let the rhizomes dry out, which will weaken and possibly kill the plants. The best-looking plants are grown in conditions similar to many ivies. They like a loamy, rich soil with plenty of peat. Drainage is not a paramount concern (although they dislike being waterlogged).Packaged and shipped exclusively by Wekiva Foliage.
