Squirrel's Foot Fern

Davallia trichomanoides prefers well-draining soil and shade. Provide regular water during active growth then reduce watering during dormancy period. Soil should not be too moist as overwatering will lead to rot.

Davallia trichomanoides is a semi-tender fern suited for USDA growing zones 10-11 in frost-free climates. Semi-tender ferns grow best where nighttime temperatures are mostly above 50°F. Semi-tender ferns grow well in coastal California, in the central or southern regions.

This semi-evergreen fern sheds its fronds once a year then enters a brief period of slow growth, followed by a flush of new growth. Generally self-shedding but if the old fronds remain as the new fronds appear, remove the old fronds with hand shears to allow room for the new growth.

As an indoor plant, this fern is adaptable to low or bright indirect light, and can withstand lower humidity levels found in homes better than most other ferns.

Q: What are the brown spots on the underside of my fern?
A: The brown spots on the underside of the fern leaf are spores which is how ferns reproduce. Sporangia is a specialized structure that holds the spores and develops in clusters called sori which may appear as dark dots, lines, or rusty patches and arranged in symmetrical or scattered patterns, or completely cover the lower leaf surface.
