Introducing the captivating Davallia repens, a truly exotic and delicate epiphytic fern. Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Australia, this graceful fern is highly prized for its unique growth habit and stunning, lacy fronds.

Unlike most ferns, Davallia repens grows from slender, creeping rhizomes that spread along the surface of the soil or over rocks and bark. Its elegant, feathery fronds emerge from these rhizomes, creating a beautifully textured and naturalistic display. While it can be grown in a pot, it truly thrives when given a humid environment to climb and spread, such as in a terrarium, paludarium, or kokedama display.

Perfect for collectors seeking a unique and delicate accent plant, the Creeping Rabbit's Foot Fern adds a sense of natural tranquility and elegance to any indoor space.
