XL Kangaroo Foot Fern (Microsorum diversifolium)
ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
Elevate your indoor space to a realm of lush greenery and natural elegance with the Kangaroo Foot Fern (Microsorum diversifolium). This remarkable fern variety is a botanical masterpiece that will captivate plant enthusiasts and collectors alike, offering a touch of wild beauty to your indoor garden.
The Kangaroo Foot Fern boasts a striking and distinctive appearance, with fronds that resemble the delicate, yet resilient, feet of kangaroos. Its lush, finely divided leaves cascade gracefully, creating a captivating display that adds an enchanting touch of the wild to your surroundings. With a mature size of approximately W80cm x H50cm, it forms a substantial presence in your indoor oasis, making it a statement piece that demands attention.
Originating from the lush rainforests of Australia and New Zealand, the Kangaroo Foot Fern thrives in conditions that mimic its natural habitat, making it an excellent choice for indoor cultivation. Its adaptability and robust nature make it suitable for both experienced plant enthusiasts and those new to the world of indoor gardening.
In the wild, the Kangaroo Foot Fern is often found nestled amidst the dense undergrowth of the rainforest floor, thriving in the dappled sunlight that filters through the canopy above. Its unique fronds add an exotic touch to the forest landscape, creating a harmonious blend of natural and aesthetic beauty.
One of the most remarkable features of the Kangaroo Foot Fern is its ability to thrive in low to medium light conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for spaces where bright, indirect light is limited. Its unique fronds add an exotic touch to your indoor decor, creating a harmonious blend of natural and aesthetic beauty.
Caring for this botanical gem is straightforward, provided you provide it with the right conditions:
Light Requirements: Kangaroo Foot Ferns thrive in low to medium light conditions, making them perfect for spaces with limited natural light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate fronds.
Temperature and Humidity: Maintain room temperatures between 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F) and ensure higher humidity levels to mimic its rainforest habitat. Regular misting or placing a humidity tray nearby will create an ideal environment for this botanical wonder.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry, and ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Soil and Potting: Plant your Kangaroo Foot Fern in a well-draining potting mix that allows for healthy root development. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil is suitable for encouraging vigorous growth and lush fronds.
Fertilizing: Feed your Kangaroo Foot Fern with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two to three months during the growing season (spring and summer). This will promote healthy growth and maintain its lush appearance.
In terms of styling, the Kangaroo Foot Fern is a versatile addition to any indoor space. Its graceful fronds make it an ideal choice for creating captivating displays in decorative pots or as a centerpiece in your botanical ensemble.
Plant Size: Our Kangaroo Foot Ferns typically reach a mature size of approximately W80cm x H50cm, making them substantial additions to your indoor garden. With their unique appearance and robust growth, they will transform your chosen spot into a vibrant and enchanting oasis.
Our plants are carefully packaged and arrive in plastic nursery pots, ensuring their safety during shipping and giving you the flexibility to select a decorative container that complements your style.
