Description
Humata or Davallia tyermanii is better known as the Rabbit's Foot Fern, as it develops long aerial rhizomes covered with a soft light pubescence, resembling the hairy feet of this small familiar animal. Its growth is creeping, even trailing, forming a clump of graceful fronds, finely divided in a dark green colour, and its rhizomes eventually cover completely its pot or its growing support. Not very hardy, but full of charm, it is most often cultivated as an indoor or veranda plant, in a bright and humid atmosphere. It will work wonders when suspended. In very mild climates, outdoors, this fern will thrive in a shaded rockery or in an old damp wall. Its vegetation will dry out in winter.
Humata tyermanii belongs to the family of davalliaceae. This botanical species is native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia. In nature, it is found attached to rocks or trees, never in the ground: it is said to be an epiphyte. It is a slow-growing perennial fern, which will reach about 35cm (14in) in height and spread over 30 to 40cm (12 to 16in). Its stump is slightly creeping. The plant feeds on the oldest rhizomes that decompose over time. The young shoots, called croziers, are reddish in colour. The mature fronds, somewhat leathery, are triangular, glossy, three times divided, finely cut. They are dark green in colour. The foliage persists all year round indoors, but becomes deciduous in winter outdoors. Resistant to drought, the plant will appreciate being regularly watered and misted with rainwater.
Rabbit's Foot Ferns are decorative, fun and rather easy to care for plants, but not well suited for outdoor cultivation in most temperate climates. Davallia tyermanii will be content with filtered light and air which isn't too dry. It can be placed in a perforated pot, on a well-sheltered vegetated wall, and of course, suspended. Avoid plastic containers that can prevent the roots from 'breathing'. To accompany it, consider, for example, tillandsias, Asplenium nidus, Polypodes, Billbergia and other African violets.

Planting and care
The Rabbit's Foot Fern or Humata tyermanii ferns are sensitive plants that perish when temperatures drop below -5°C (23°F). For this reason, they are most often cultivated indoors, in a conservatory or in a well-lit room that is not too hot. They are cultivated like orchids and tillandsias, for example, 'above ground'. Place the plant in a very bright location, but without direct sunlight. Plant it in a mixture of good potting soil, and sand. The pot should preferably have drainage holes to prevent the stump from rotting. The growing substrate should be regularly moistened, allowing it to dry out a little between waterings (immersing the plant in a bucket of non-limestone water). Occasionally, apply diluted fertiliser for green plants. Also, spray the foliage with rainwater whenever necessary during the hot season, as well as in winter.
To repot your Davallia, wait until the plant is truly overflowing from its container. Preferably do this in spring. You can also divide the clump so that each division has a nice piece of rootstock and several fronds.
In very mild climates, you can plant this Davallia in a shaded rockery or between the stones of an old wall that is not too exposed to the sun. Planting on a vegetated wall is also possible, always in filtered light or shade. Protect the plant with a thick winter cover if there are pronounced frosts announced.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
