Overview
Humata tyermannii, commonly known as the Rabbit's Foot Fern, is an attractive indoor fern grown for its finely divided green fronds and its distinctive fuzzy rhizomes that gradually creep over the edge of the pot. These soft, silvery-brown rhizomes give the plant its common name and create an unusual ornamental feature alongside the delicate foliage. Supplied in an 18cm hanging pot, this fern is ideal for displaying at eye level, where both the graceful fronds and decorative rhizomes can be fully appreciated. Its cascading habit brings a fresh, natural feel to living spaces and pairs beautifully with other foliage houseplants.
Why We Love It
Rabbit's Foot Fern offers more than just attractive foliage. The soft, creeping rhizomes create a fascinating feature that becomes more impressive as the plant matures, giving it year-round character and making it a favourite among fern enthusiasts.
