Davallia fejeensis, commonly known as the Rabbit’s Foot Fern, is a tropical fern admired for its fuzzy, creeping rhizomes that resemble a rabbit’s foot. These unique roots grow above the soil and give this plant its distinctive, ornamental appearance—perfect for terrariums and naturalistic displays.
Compact and horizontally spreading, this mini version is ideal for closed or semi-open terrariums. Its delicate, lacy fronds add movement and texture to any planted setup.
