The Rabbit Foot Fern Hanging Basket is a distinctive indoor fern loved for its soft, finely divided green fronds and unusual furry rhizomes that creep across the surface of the growing medium and eventually over the edges of the basket. These characteristic “rabbit feet” give the plant its name and become more prominent as it matures.

Supplied in a generous 25cm hanging basket, its graceful foliage and trailing rhizomes create a beautifully textured display. This adaptable fern is an excellent choice for bright indoor spaces, bathrooms, covered patios and anywhere its unusual growth habit can be appreciated.

Care guide

Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun.
Water: Keep the growing medium lightly moist, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid prolonged waterlogging.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but is more adaptable to average household humidity than many ferns.
Temperature: Best between 18-28°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 12°C.
Soil: A loose, well-draining growing medium rich in organic matter is ideal. Avoid burying the furry rhizomes beneath the soil.
Feeding: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced indoor plant fertiliser.
Pruning: Remove old or damaged fronds at the base to keep the plant looking neat and healthy.
