Davallia feejensis , nicknamed rabbit's foot fern just like its cousin Davallia canariensis , is captivating with its downy rhizomes that creep along the surface of the substrate, like tiny velvety feet. Native to the Fiji Islands (while Davallia canariensis comes from the Canary Islands), this epiphytic fern brings a unique tropical touch to terrariums and hanging baskets alike.
Its finely cut, light and luminous foliage contrasts elegantly with its silvery-brown rhizomes. Easy to grow, it appreciates a humid atmosphere, bright light without direct sunlight, and an airy, well-draining substrate (fibrous mix such as sphagnum moss/bark).
Perfect for tropical terrariums, living walls, or growing in wide, shallow pots, Davallia feejensis combines aesthetics and simplicity. A striking and vibrant plant, ideal for enriching a natural plant arrangement.

Bright light without direct sunlight. Tolerates light in partial shade. Avoid scorching sun which dries out the fronds and rhizomes.
Ideal between 18 and 26°C. Do not expose below 10°C. Strictly tropical plant.
Keep the substrate slightly damp at all times. Never allow it to dry out completely, but do not let it become waterlogged. Reduce moisture slightly in winter.
Prefers high humidity. Perfect for a terrarium or bright, slightly dry room. Misting is possible around the plant (avoid excessive misting of the foliage).
A very well-draining and aerated mix: sphagnum moss, fine bark, coconut fiber. The rhizomes must remain on the surface, never buried.
Repot every 2 to 3 years, in spring. Choose a wide and shallow pot to allow the rhizomes to spread.
Apply a quality fertilizer to the ferns in spring-summer, using a low dose. Avoid over-fertilizing.
Do not cut the aerial rhizomes: they are what ensure growth and give the plant its character.
