Davallia Species, Bears Paw Fern, Silver Hare's Foot Fern, White Rabbit's Foot Fern

Bought one of these on 6-26-12 at Lowe's in Carol Stream IL for $5 in a 1 gallon. It was on clearance and half dead looking. Walking arou...Read Morend the store, I pulled off a little dead at a time. By the time I got to the register it looked like a perfect specimen. It actually survived being in my car with the windows rolled up, and 92 outside for a few hours. I thought for sure it would look terrible. But, still looks great. Now to attempt to re-pot into a nicer container without breaking "the feet off" which are hanging 4" down the sides of the typical bright orange pot it made its journey in.

My cat loves to eat the fronds and then barfs.... silly cat.

Other than that, a wonderful plant.. I've had mine over 25 yr...Read Mores and the last 20 in one pot. (see image)

Doesn't seem to need anything special; prefers shade or indirect light, regular waterings and very mild ferts if at all.

Simple and impressive, what more could you want.

I got this plant as a gift at work. It did very well in an office environment. I then thought I would take it home to repot it. It was...Read More a very hot day in June, I had one stop on the way home, and I had put the plant in the back of the suv. When I got home and took the plant out, it looked healthy. The next day it was completey wilted, the silvery brown legs turned a darker brown, and it began to shed it leaves. I don't know if I should repot it or not. Now four months later it shows little signs of life. I just hate to give up on it. Any suggestions?

My Rabbit's Foot Fern started out as a houseplant but it wasn't very happy. I think I planted it too deep in the pot -- it never thrived...Read More and started to get brown and wither. Finally I re-potted it in a larger pot and made sure the "feet" weren't covered. I also put it outside in the shade and hoped for the best. Now it is much fuller and healthier.
