Davallia denticulata
Rabbits Foot Fern
Description
Davallia denticulata, commonly known as the deer foot fern, is a unique fern admired for its distinctive appearance. This fern features rhizomes that resemble the feet of a deer. The rhizomes are typically covered in a soft, brown, scale-like covering. The fronds are triangular and deeply divided, giving the plant a delicate appearance. This fern thrives in a humid environment, with dappled or indirect light. It is best to provide a well-draining potting mix or mount it on a substrate, like a tree fern plaque, to mimic its natural growing conditions.
