Superb plants with a difference! This fern produces furry silvery rhizomes that grow outside of the pot and cascade over the side giving Humata tyermannii its common names: White Rabbit’s Foot, Silver Hare’s Foot and Bears Paw Fern.
Humata tyermannii has fine, delicate fronds of deep green, although new growth may start life with a bronze flush. A lucky fern that looks great in a hanging basket showing off all its glorious features.

Blozem Hints🪴
🌿Legs for daaays… This fern takes in moisture and oxygen from the furry rhizomes (legs), so when repotting, make sure not to bury them.
🌿Feelin’ fresh! This fern may shed during the winter, but don’t worry – brand new foliage will appear when the next growing season comes around.
🌿While this fern loves a bright environment, it is hardy enough to handle a spot in rooms with a little less sun.

Beautiful fern!
