rabbit's foot fern

The Rabbit's Foot Fern prefers moist soil, so it should be watered regularly. The best way to keep the soil moist is by setting up a regular watering schedule. During the growing season, the fern should be watered every 7-10 days, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. During the winter months, waterings should be reduced to once every 2-3 weeks. If the fern is planted outdoors, it should be watered more frequently during times of drought. Avoid overwatering as it can cause the fern’s roots to rot. Check the soil every time before watering to make sure it is not too dry or too wet.

Rabbit's foot fern (Davallia fejeensis) is a species of fern that grows best in indirect but bright sunlight. Place the fern in a spot that receives sunlight for about 2-5 hours of bright, indirect sunlight daily. Although Rabbit's Foot Fern can handle more direct sunlight, too much sunlight can dry out the fronds. Morning sunlight is best, particularly since hot afternoon sun will damage the fronds.

For a rabbit's foot fern, light pruning should take place once or twice a year, in late spring or early summer. Pruning should be kept minimal, removing any brown, dead, or yellowing fronds, as well as any that are too long or bushy. Care should be taken to avoid cutting too much of the plant away, as it is a slow-growing species.
