Squirrel's Foot Fern
This is a beautiful, light green fern that is ideally suited to use in hanging baskets or pots in shade where the delicate texture of its fronds and its peculiar, furry, brown rhizomes can be appreciated up close. An epiphyte, or a plant that grows on other plants, in nature like many orchids and bromeliads, it prefers a light, fast-draining mix or soil and a mild climate.
