Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

kangaroo paw fern

18 years ago

Hi, just bought a small exotic angel brand plant, 'kangaroo paw fern' microsorjum diversifolium. Does this plant have furry rhizomes after a while? Long ago, had a 'rabbits foot fern' or 'squirrel foot' and think it was a different kind of fern, but it had furry rhizome. Tried looking it up on plant database & web, but no answer.

thanks,

Sherry

I just got the same plant and was wondering as well. It's a nice fern though.

Microsorum pustulatum, Kangaroo fern.
It will grow in a basket just like a squirrels foot fern. Rhizomes much les fuzzy that Davalia.
