Davallia griffithiana (Rabbit's Foot Fern) Houseplant Care - 236 of 365

One of the most forgiving ferns for an indoor environment has to be in the genus Davallia, which are the rabbit's foot fern. I highlight mine in #236 of "365 Days of Plants".
In this video I'll discuss where it is originally native to, where I'm growing it in my home, and basics like light, watering and fertilizing.
You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

Mine got infested by tiny white flies, so I put it out on the balcony, to isolate it from my other plants, while I figured out what to do about the flies...and then Covid happened and I forgot all about the fern and it got left outside all through the British Winter! The green leaves all died away and then I noticed that in Spring, new shoots were coming out of all the rabbit's feet and there were dozens of ladybirds all over it! The lady birds ate all the bugs, so by the time I brought the pot back inside, its was completely clear. I re-potted it, just to show it some love and it has bloomed! More foliage than it had before and really healthy looking...and zero bugs! So yes, it has proven itself to be extremely resilient! Left outside, with only rainfall (which is plentiful in England) and survived freezing conditions all through the Winter. Oh and by the way, I live on the 9th floor, across the road from the beach. So apart from the winter storms, the poor little fern also dealt with salty sea spray!

I have been growing Davallia fejeensis for the past few years. It is currently in an eight inch net pot with long fiber sphagnum and perlite. It has been moved back and forth between a south facing window that gets about 6 hours of direct light and a shelf under blue-red LEDs. It gets a slight red tint to its new fronds in direct light, but does well in both light conditions. It grows fast in my conditions and does not seem to get set back by environmental changes or repotting. I have had no pest issues since I got it. It is a really nice easy fern!

She is flourishing, even during winter and being outside(zone9),even with a major trim... Comforting to know that I wasn't the only one with a weird infestation on just that one plant lol

I live in Saskatchewan, Canada and have two of these. One is huge and is about 30 years old (I inherited it from my Grandma) and the other one I've had for 2 years. Neither of them have had brown scale that I'm aware of, of course I had to run and check right away lol. I'm growing them about a foot and a half away from an easy facing window and they are loving life. These are so easy and so rewarding to grow. I absolutely love these plants.

I do have this plant and l love it too. Mine constantly gets yellowish/brown fronds. I always thought it was because l do not water it frequently enough, but now l have to take a closer look. I wouldn't be surprised if it had scale. I have a tree fern Dicksonia that has been infested with scale. Rabbits foot fern is an easy fern, its not fussy. I have it growing in a terracotta pot. I also have it growing inside my large terrarium. The hairy feet started to burrow into the substrate and all the way down to the clay pebbles, it looks so cool!

Oh gosh, mine has been almost dead I Thought it was a non beginner friendly plant. Funny enough, people say that Asplenium nidus (birds nest fern) is difficult to keep in the home, but I have 4 that have been absolutely thriving for maybe 8-10 months!! Even though I don’t have a humidifier and don’t know how to use fertilizer or plant food yet. My rabbits foot fern came with one or two little brown scales but I took them off as soon as I got it and they never came back. However it has been losing fronds and is sooooo sparse now and the fronds that are left have brown wilted sections of them yet green sections all on the same frond. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong I tried watering less watering more and less light more light.. I have loved the look of beautiful feathery ferns my whole life. Even as a little kid I had an asparagus fern (the lacy feathery frilly frond-like version, Asparagus plumosa), that just pop up in my backyard one day and I cared for it so that it wouldn’t die I kept it alive for years out there!! I loved that thing and I’ve been wanting one ever since I started houseplants, I just haven’t found one of that variety yet. But it doesn’t seem like dainty ferns do well in my home! I had 2 maiden hairs die on me too as well as a local native Hawaiian fern that looks similar to a Boston but much skinnier fronds / shorter lobes on the fronds). I think I’m going to have to just get a whole bunch more asplenium nidus varieties and make that my new thing!

I haven't repotted it yet because I'm just so afraid of killing it but I do have it under a grow light. I water it 1-2 times a week because it dries out fast, again I haven't repotted it but I plan to today!! Also, I know what they say about misting but I mist mine once in the morning daily because I have a fan in my kitchen always circulating air!! So far it's grown new fronds and now it's growing even more new curly headed baby fronds so lol!! I really hope it lives for a long time!🌱💖🥰

One of the best examples of a plant's sick sense of humor is once you see a gigantic one of these just sitting up on a tree in the blazing tropical sun of Fiji! Fussy ferns.🤣 Brown scale loves these little ferns. Only constant humidity keeps them at bay. If you have this plant and it gets the tiniest bit parched brown scale will descend. The same can be said for Tapeworm Plant/Ribbon Bush which comes from the same neck of the woods. Unless you are extremely diligent you will get brown scale.

I’m not sure if the scale is coming from growers. I’ve had a staghorn fern for 3 years that never got scale until we moved from Texas to NC this year. It’s not a terrible outbreak and I stay on top of it, but they never quite go away entirely. Maybe they found the plant when we had it hanging outside in NC (it’s a wooded area).

Hi! I just purchased A rabbit's foot firm and it's such a great condition my question to you is will it grow well in a sky lit area how my kitchen has skylights in it and I was thinking I may put it up on top of a kitchen cabinet but I don't want it to get too much light please let me know what you think.
