About This Botanical
Fern 'Kangaroo Paw'
A kangaroo paw fern with paw-shaped fronds that does well in bright, humid rooms.
How to care for Kangaroo Paw Fern
- Light: bright, indirect light, or partial shade. Keep it out of direct sun, which scorches the fronds.
- Water: keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy, and do not let the pot sit in water. Let the top inch dry slightly between waterings. Water less in winter.
- Humidity and temperature: prefers humid air but tolerates drier rooms. Mist occasionally or use a humidifier. Keep it between 65 and 75°F and out of cold drafts.
- Feeding: feed lightly about every three weeks in the growing season, and not in winter.
