I now try to research how to deal with my new rabbit fern that I now receive today....I honestly want to mention that ur video explains alot ..alot. the fern looks emaculate ...God bless u with ur plant..God smiles when ppl appreciate nature...I love the rock effect ...gorgeous ..swt ..God bless.
Boy! Great video! I didn’t know it grows through the rhizomes (I didn’t know what those things were - nor their purpose). I didn’t know the rhizomes should not be allowed to dry out, etc … thank you.
I have one and I live in Colombia, so I just leave it outside under some sade but where it receives all the rainwater... I never touch it and it's growing out of bounds, it'll soon take over my house 😂😂
It should grow very well in a terrarium as it likes high humidity, however its leaves do get fairly large and so a small terrarium might not be suitable. To put it in a terrarium you cut off a piece of the creeping rhizome and place it in, if it has a bud it should grow new roots and a leaf.
@@sage_za795 if the terrarium is a good size it could work, or if you keep it well pruned it will have smaller leaves. Also you could prune the leaves to just have one side leaflet on each frond, that way it will look like a small leaf.
I bought it already attached, it seemed to be planted in a small hole at the top. I think they planted it as a small plant with a tiny amount of soil. Then as it grew it ancored itself by rooting into the small holes in the lava rock.
hey, i wanna use this for a terrarium. If i was to take a leaf cutting and plant it would it be able to survive and root in or does it have to have the rhizome?
As you mentioned, they grow well in soil, too. I got a miserable little Davallia with only two leaves a year back, which now thrives potted in/on soil (with extra bark) under a grow light, but I'd love to try growing it on a lava rock, it looks very elegant! Where do you buy the rocks? I looked in the local garden stores after your first video, but they didn't have any 🙁 I'm wondering if the Davallia might be ok with growing suspended tied to a ball of moss or similar, too? 🤔
I've seen the lava rock plants in a few garden centres, although only one nursery is currently growing them and they are based in The Netherlands, so I think they are only available in Europe and the UK. I've not yet been able to find where to get the rocks without plants attached as I would like to try growing a few of my other plants with this method. Yes It should grow great in a kokedama style moss ball, I might actually transplant my new cutting to a kokedama moss ball once its rooted.
Few days ago i found my wild squirrel foot fern in waterfall area
This looks so cool! I wouldn't have thought to do that... it looks so happy :)

I never knew that about the rhizomes for this fern, thanks for teaching me something!
Its such a cool fern, and is pretty adaptable to various growing conditions.
Transplanted my Kimberly Queen Fern into a bigger pot and since then. Its taken off and now its a monster!
Interesting fern, very attractive leaves.

this. is. so. cool.
You could put some lava rocks on the ground next to it and the risoms will attach to them
Yes that would work, although I've yet to find a good source of lava rocks, the only ones I've found are very small.
Me instantly thinking wow i can grow Davallia and Phalaenopsiis together in this way!😃
Great idea…why not?! Sounds good … BUT…I’ve never seen them paired like that which makes me question why. Won’t it work? Best wishes!🌸
Very informative!!~* Thank you so kindly!!~*
Update on your plant and propagation?
How well does it work in a terrarium, and how do i put it into a smaller terrarium?
It should grow very well in a terrarium as it likes high humidity, however its leaves do get fairly large and so a small terrarium might not be suitable. To put it in a terrarium you cut off a piece of the creeping rhizome and place it in, if it has a bud it should grow new roots and a leaf.
@@Gardeningat58N Thanks! I know it has large leaves, so will it mean more maintenance or will it simply not work?
@@sage_za795 if the terrarium is a good size it could work, or if you keep it well pruned it will have smaller leaves. Also you could prune the leaves to just have one side leaflet on each frond, that way it will look like a small leaf.
How did you initially attach the fern to the lava rock?
I bought it already attached, it seemed to be planted in a small hole at the top. I think they planted it as a small plant with a tiny amount of soil. Then as it grew it ancored itself by rooting into the small holes in the lava rock.

I think it has to have some rhizome attached, a leaf on its own won't survive.
@@Gardeningat58N yo can i cut of a small piece of the rhizome and then put it in the terrarium or how does it work?

@@Gardeningat58N Cheers!
Was at steins today and they had some so I'd call and check
I hope the textured wall is not the popcorn type that may contain asbestos - please be careful!
That's good to know, its not a plant that I have come across here in the Uk.
👌
Can we propogate using leaves only?
No, you need to have a piece of rhizome attached to each leaf for it to work.
@@Gardeningat58N abt 1 cm ok?
@@rohaniariffin7884 yes that should work, although the longer the rhizome better.
