How to fertilize Davallia Fejeensis
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Davallia Fejeensis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

The leaves keep turning brown and dying. I've tried it in three different places without luck. I increased watering to twice a week, which helped a flush of new leaf growth, but they die off when they reach 3/4 inched. Any tips on what's wrong, please? #RabbitFootFern

I have a rabbits foot fern that I’d love to propagate or take babies off off. I’m not sure of the best way or if there is a way and would love any advice.

Help with new baby #RabbitFootFern Hi! I got a new little rabbit foot fern recently because I’ve always wanted one. I didn’t want to let it get too dry and it’s only in a two inch pot. But it’s totally crisped up! Any help?

One of my favourite plants in my collection. Has never let me down. I like to keep his soil moist and mist occasionally. Likes a cool, dark corner of my room in summer. In winter, I keep him in a brighter spot. Grows so quickly in summer. I’m very proud of him.

I want to say that this pony does well in moderate climate. Definitely not doing well in Central Valley heat where the temps get up to 110 for a good 6 months out of the year. As in constant from day to night (night gets to 90s) . The little leaves got really dry even though I most every day. I think this plant would thrive in Northern California and southern a California weather.
