How to Grow and Care for Felt fern

Felt fern, also known as Hitotsuba

Felt fern thrives in bright, indirect light and should be watered moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Special attention should be given to its leaves; dust should be gently wiped away to facilitate photosynthesis and prevent pest infestations.

Felt fern boasts elongated, olive-green fronds, each growing up to 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) in height and about 2 inches (5 cm) in width. These tactile fronds resemble a cow's tongue in texture, with a slightly wavy margin and a gentle twist throughout the blade. The underside reveals a unique felty appearance due to numerous small, round sori, coupled with stellate hairs and scales in cinnamon to tan hues. Fronds grow individually from slender surface-creeping rhizomes, presenting an attractive evergreen groundcover option.
