How to grow Davallia fejeensis in NZ

Davallia fejeensis grows best in part shade and prefers moist, free draining soil rich in organic matter. Choose a sheltered position with protection from strong afternoon sun and cold winds. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment, avoiding waterlogging. Indoors, place the fern in bright filtered light with good humidity. Outdoors, it performs well in shaded patios, hanging baskets, and sheltered garden beds throughout NZ.

Davallia fejeensis care tips

Davallia fejeensis is easy to maintain when given regular moisture, filtered light, and protection from extremes. Water consistently to keep the soil lightly damp and mist the fronds during dry weather to support humidity. Remove old or damaged fronds to keep the plant tidy. Feed with a gentle liquid fertiliser in spring and summer. Protect from frost and avoid very dry indoor air to maintain healthy growth.

Davallia fejeensis size spacing and growth rate

Davallia fejeensis typically grows thirty to fifty centimetres tall and spreads sixty centimetres or more as its furry rhizomes extend outward. When planting in groups, space plants forty to fifty centimetres apart. Growth is moderate and steady, with the fern gradually filling baskets and containers. Once established, it becomes a long lived and visually striking plant with a soft cascading habit.

Landscaping uses for Davallia fejeensis

Davallia fejeensis is ideal for hanging baskets, decorative pots, shaded patios, and indoor displays. Its unique furry rhizomes spill attractively over edges, adding visual interest. Use it to soften shelves, brighten dim corners, or complement other shade loving plants. It blends beautifully with maidenhair fern, philodendron, and peace lily to create serene, layered greenery in indoor and outdoor plant groupings.
