Description

The Kangaroo Fern is a bold, pet-friendly houseplant with deep-green, uniquely lobed fronds that bring a lush, tropical splash to any room. Native to Australia, this epiphytic fern naturally perches on tree trunks, so it loves steady humidity yet forgives an occasional dry spell—making it an easygoing choice for plant parents of all levels.

Benefits of the Kangaroo Fern

PET-FRIENDLY BEAUTY

Non-toxic to cats and dogs, it delivers jungle vibes without worry.

TROPICAL TEXTURE

Its arching, kangaroo-paw-shaped fronds add movement and depth, instantly elevating shelves, countertops, or hanging planters.

HUMIDITY-HARDY & FORGIVING

Adapted to steamy treetops, it thrives in bathrooms and kitchens but bounces back even if you miss a watering.

Expert Care Guidelines

  • Watering: Keep soil lightly moist; let the top inch dry out before the next drink.
  • Lighting: Bright, indirect light preserves deep color and prevents leaf scorch.
  • Humidity: Mist regularly or place on a pebble tray—extra moisture keeps fronds lush and glossy.
  • Maintenance: Trim any yellowing fronds at the base and wipe leaves to deter dust and pests.

Ideal Settings for the Kangaroo Fern

  • Bathrooms & Kitchens: Naturally humid rooms where it can soak up steam.
  • Bright, Indirect Corners: Bookshelves, plant stands, or hanging baskets just out of direct sun.
  • Pet-Friendly Homes & Gifts: A safe, eye-catching present for fern fans and animal lovers alike.
