I just love how you sweetly, with your soft spoken way, simply go through everything I need to know without a lot of showiness. Not sure how to say that, I hope you know what I mean. It's refreshing. I just love this plant! I have three of them, one is doing great and the other two are faded and dull with lots of dried up fronds I have now cleaned out. But this is why I needed to find this video as I had no idea what was going on but now I have some great information to go on. Thank you so much!

[@leeabrodie]

the best advice dealing with rabbits foot yet, great video Jess. Horticulture salute!

[@Healwithceleryjuice]

This was so informative! I learned so much - I need to give my rabbits foot fern some more love .

[@jennydubbz]

Thank you so much for this video! I just bought myself a baby black rabbits foot fern and I am so excited to see it grow!

[@syediie]

You seem like a very happy person I wish u the best with your plants

[@TheOnePandemonium]

Your smile is so lovely !!! Thank you for the tips, my rabbit foot fern is so lush and I love it so much

[@junehaugen2458]

🌿⚘Such a lovely woman you are..easy listening..soothing and informative information with respect to my favorite, thank you very much 🌹🌿

[@tams7411]

Ooh, I love how you can make more rabbits from the feet! Finally, an easily propagatable fern! >o

[@jessypotplants]

hey love - so sorry for the late reply! hehe i love that - making more rabbits! hopefully this plant can multiply as quickly as rabbits do!

[@brijay7001]

I was just gifted one! I can't wait to see how it does

[@victoriaabcede1703]

Thank you for the helpful tips! Very informative. I have a large hanging rabbit’s fern, I bought because of it’s quirky appearance. I have had it for about a 5 months and notice yellowing and drooping of the leaves. Bringing it indoors for more attentive care. Stay safe out there and cheers!

[@twistysunshine]

This guy is one of my favorites! Such a neat lil weirdo

[@jessypotplants]

haha ikr! he's a furry little weirdo - looking forward to the day I can pop him in a hanger and his little legs spill over

[@yellowbird2157]

Thank you for the helpful info - especially the plate of apple cider vinegar trick!

[@houseplants_Keep_Me_Sane]

Thank you! I recently did a houseplant cuttings trade and I received a large handful of these rhizomes with fronds! This plant has been on my wishlist for ages. I appreciate the clear and concise instructions for propagating this plant. Thank you again! 🙂

[@kathymacgregor2173]

Ty for the very informative video... Such a unique pretty plant .. & my first fern! 🌿

[@brendascott6554]

A very helpful and practical video on how to care for, maintain and propogate my favourite fern, the Rabbit's Foot. Thank you so much. :)

[@marygrew4341]

I’m glad you ended up getting one of these! I know you wanted one for ages and it’s the perfect plant for you! 😊😊 you’ve done so well with it too! A year and hardly a brown leaf to be seen! 😯

[@jessypotplants]

its the creepy tarauntula legs that appeal to me!! thanks so much - there have been a couple of brown leaves but the fern is super easy to take care of. I reckon he could be a bit bigger but I've just kept him in his nursery pot

[@nanetteorchid6680]

Thank you so much! What a lovely plant and well-rounded plant-care video! I just bought some of these. they are very little so I will gather them in a pot together for the time being. i'll transplant when they start to get bigger, but for now, they'll have some company! Thank you for such a lovely video!

[@jessypotplants]

Hi Nanette - aw thank you so much for the lovely comment - i really appreciate it! pleased you found the video helpful! your baby rabbit root feet sound adorable!

[@MariaCruz-sm9zv]

Thanks for your advice and wonderful smile! Positive energy glows!!

[@j.l.9283]

Good morning from Texas :) (1:30am) Jessy I just stumbled on your channel, and subscribed. Just bought one of these ferns tonight. I named it Victoria. Thank you so much for the care video. Very I structive with a lot of great information

[@jessypotplants]

Aw hey Jerry! Thanks so much for subscribing! I really appreciate it! So excited for Victoria - i bet she's a beauty!! Hope you're staying well!

[@plantsandpiggies7758]

Thanks Jess, I remember when you first got this. It's thriving and so big. I love epiphytic plants! And just an interesting fact I researched the humidity of Sydney and it's actually around 50-70% all year!

[@jessypotplants]

Aw you've got such a good memory!! Oh thanks so much! i actually should've researched it myself - I hadn't realised that the humidity was around that range even in winter!

[@plantsandpiggies7758]

@@jessypotplants, yeah humidity in Sydney is meant to be because the direction of the wind blows over the Sydney harbour, botany bay and beaches to the city. Otherwise, it wouldn't be humid- it's because of the direction of the wind over the water. And Feb is meant to be the most humid month of the year.

[@hollypuga5736]

I’m really glad I watched your video on the rabbits foot fern. Mine is still a baby and I’ve lost quite a few of it’s prawns , of course I thought it’s because it wasn’t getting enough water, but now I’m sure it’s due to too much water. Once again thank you for all your information regarding this fern, they most certainly are one of my favorites 😉

[@MaikaRose]

I just bought one of these a week or so ago and I love it so much :)

[@marycanfield8654]

Wonderful! Thank you, you're just lovely! Rhizomes around the pot looks great!

[@jessypotplants]

Thanks so much Mary!! Really appreciate you stopping by!

[@marycanfield8654]

Hi, I've tried a few, they all look like hay, within a couple months! I'm watching again.

[@robynloveschocolate]

I love my rabbit foot fern! I live in Canada and even with our super dry winters, it still does so well! Ive even forgotten to water it for like 2 weeks and it's still fine 😂

[@velerialangbehn6088]

Thank you so much. Very informative. Just got one. Will do what you said. You have a nice voice for teaching. Enjoyed!

[@tasondakirby6505]

Do they like misting

[@user-sg9bu6re6n]

Thanks, i can take care my fern plant now which i just bought, i hope my second one will work this time thanks for explaining it very well.

[@-jacinta-]

Just found your channel and really enjoy how packed with info you videos are. I am a little wary of ferns but have totally fallen for my fast growing & perky looking Blue Star fern. The Rabbit Foots fern reminds me of the Maiden Hair, but might be easier to care for here in Adelaide where summers are very dry, so it’s now on my list to purchase along with the Kangaroo Paw fern. Thanks, Jess, I’m now a new subscriber 😊🌱

[@keepingupwithtaylort]

Oh wow that's so interesting! I've never seen a rabbit's foot fern - the name just sounds too adorable and you had me at rabbit 🐇🐰 😍 thanks for introducing us to these new plants! 👍 Looking forward to seeing more!

[@jessypotplants]

haha and ofc you and bunnies! How is eddie btw? Hope hes doing ok. You're most welcome although appreciate some of the plants i've got are a little bit weirder 😅

[@keepingupwithtaylort]

@@jessypotplantsaw thank you for asking Eddie is going well at eleven years 💕and yasss I love learning about all these new plants! I went plant shopping with my mum today and she got a few things including a needlepoint ivy! 💚

[@annouymess]

Oh yay thanks for this! I love the look of ferns but I'm petrified of them because of how temperamental they can be, so I've only got a bird's nest fern and blue star fern... But I'll definitely be picking up a rabbit's foot after this, glad to know it one of the less fussy ferns :)

[@marygrew4341]

I’m the same with my fear of ferns! I have recently acquired two ferns and so far they’re going okay... and after watching this I’m feeling tempted by the fuzzy feet! 😂🐰

[@plantsandpiggies7758]

@@marygrew4341 All the ferns will be coming soon to Bunnings. They have lots around winter time so you might be tempted!

[@jessypotplants]

looking forward to when you pick one of these guys up! i think its a great conversation starter as well! ive had a couple of friends think they were actually tarantula legs!!

[@nandadeepani675]

I was looking at this plant. Thank you very much.

[@jessypotplants]

you're welcome!

Great information!

[@jessypotplants]

thanks Diane!

[@daisymahoney9728]

Thank you SO very much for all of the great information! : )

[@MariaHaeberle-lt2yr]

I really creep out when I seen the rhizomes going around the pot,thank you for all the information.

[@theoreticalphysics3644]

Meanwhile this for some reason has by and far been the most difficult plant I've ever worked with. I just cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong and almost all of its fonds have entirely disappeared. I've had it it for almost two months and it's nearly leafless, and what leaves are there are all blacking at tips and ultimately withering before any of the fronds ever get to fully grow. New fronds still forming but nevertheless keep meeting this fate! Gets lots of bright indirect light from all directions (and it's June as of writing this), watered only when dry, I keep it near a sink for humidity, I've given it some plant food, temps are kept at high 60s to mid 70s F... I don't get what I'm doing wrong.

[@piotree53]

What a beautiful smile ‼️‼️‼️

[@ceecee8757]

First off, you are adorable. No homo. lol. Second, I just bought one of these today and I'm scared to kill it. I love ferns, but I hate the way they shred. I'm in humid Florida, so I hope it survives. Hoping to find some good tips. Thank you!

[@margo3613]

Oh, what a dose of knowledge! Thank you

[@jessypotplants]

Aw thanks so much Margo! where abouts are you? i really appreciate it! ah that sounds like a good idea!! Ive actually got footage of some pest damage that i thought would be useful to share!

[@Dave-if5qj]

Humidity I believe is the key to Keeping furns

[@aida087]

Hi Jessy so happy I found your video thank you!! I absolutely LOVE ferns and I've always wanted a Rabbit's foot fern!! I purchased one in May at Whole Foods, not knowing it was this specific plant YAY lol!! But I haven't repotted it because I was afraid of killing it but it's actually doing great!! I finally want to repot him today because it's soil is really firm and dries out to fast!! Thank you again Jessy!! Btw, being that it's an epyphite, can this plant be planted with Phalaenopsis Orchids? And can it be used in closed terrariums?🌱💖🥰

[@jessypotplants]

Hey Aida! Aw thank you so much for stopping by my channel and you are so kind - reading your comment on rainy Sunday afternoon has definitely made my day so thank you! Yay for your rabbit foot fern growing!! I'm not sure if I would keep it together with the orchid just because I'm not familiar with taking care of orchids (and am under the impression they require specific care!) I think the fern can be kept in a terrarium but you need to air it out otherwise the furry rhizomes would be susceptible to mould. Hope this helps!

[@aida087]

@@jessypotplants Aah hi Jessy and thank you so much for your input, I appreciate you for it!! Have a blessed day Jessy, stay safe and well!!🌱💖🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼

Aw thank you Tina! I really appreciate it!! pleased you found the video helpful!

[@jilenejensen1539]

I’m having issues with aphids with mine now. Though we are treating it.

[@OsirusHandle]

I rescued this gigantic plant, must have had a kilo or two of rhizomes i had to cut off but only a few left alive, and it had a bit of growth but its just stopped growing and i see no new leaves or green growth. I keep it regularly moist, in light but not direct, with a giant well draining pot and its about 23 degrees here indoors rn... but its not doing so well :( idk what to do!

[@ricdonato4328]

Very interesting. We have a very large Rabbits foot fern. Suggestion, turn off the background music. With music playing over your voice it is difficult understanding you. Many folks have hearing difficulties, thus the music quickly becomes intrusive and annoying.

[@OsirusHandle]

how fast do they grow btw? thanks for the video

[@ceciliagonenne810]

I bought one two months ago and it is basically dead! I tried so hard and I don’t know what I did wrong!

[@mariellepond8787]

I got a small piece of rabbit I want to plant it

[@mariellepond8787]

Can I plant a small piece of rabbit plant or it need rotte

[@LoJo99]

Hopefully, I’ll learn something here….. I’ve managed to kill two. But, I refuse to give up….poor plants.😢.

[@maggielacey5842]

I’m gonna call it a tarantula fern lol

[@masonproffit2050]

I am distracted by how beautiful Jess is.

[@mcmimi7341]

leaves on mine are turning yellow meaning too much water, it's little feet are brown meaning not enough water/humidity....oh this little bugger is telling me two different things
