With a variety of textures, sizes, and forms, these ferns bring a touch of natural elegance and intrigue to any indoor or outdoor space.

Distinctive Features

Each footed fern in this assortment boasts unique characteristics, from the furry rhizomes of Rabbit's Foot Fern (Davallia fejeensis) to the bold, scale-like textures of Bear's Paw Fern (Phlebodium aureum). These fascinating rhizomes, often resembling small animal feet, add visual interest and make these ferns stand out in any plant collection. Their lush, arching fronds come in a variety of green tones and shapes, enhancing their appeal.

Growing Conditions

• Sun Exposure: Thrive in bright, indirect light; tolerate partial shade but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their fronds.
• Soil: Prefer well-draining, organic-rich soil; a mix designed for ferns or houseplants is ideal.
• Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; allow the top inch to dry slightly between waterings.
• Humidity: High humidity is essential for most footed ferns; mist regularly or place near a humidity tray in dry environments.
• USDA Hardiness Zones: 9-11 (indoor care is recommended in cooler climates).
