Also known as the kangaroo foot fern, the kangaroo fern (Microsorum diversifolium) reaches a height of 1 foot tall and a width between 3 and 4 feet. It’s in the family Polypodiaceae. A native of Australia and New Zealand, it’s easy to grow outdoors in the ground if you live in a warm climate without winter freezes. Most people, however, grow the kangaroo fern indoors as a houseplant.
In the wild, kangaroo ferns spread by underground rhizomes to cover large areas. Indoors, it grows far more slowly, but its unique appearance makes it a real stand-out in the fern family. The graceful arching leaves are not feathery like some other species of ferns. Instead, they are “chunky,” and some say, shaped like a kangaroo paw, hence its common name. Each frond varies slightly in appearance, with some producing extended “toes” that reach out beyond the rest of the frond.
The foliage of kangaroo paw ferns is leathery and tough, making it a far more resilient plant than some other ferns that are typically grown indoors. When grown in a semi-shady spot outdoors, kangaroo paw ferns have a dusty blue hue, but when grown indoors as a house plant, they are deep green with a glossy shine.

Beautiful plant, I loved the way they packaged it.
Plants got stucked in the mail over the weekend, still arrived looking beautiful, need some roots trimmed. Seller responded really fast. Highly recommended.
Beautiful and healthy plant. It was well packed and arrived quickly. One of my favorite shops!
The MOST adorable baby cactus I have! Combined with the beautiful ceramic, this is an incredible deal for the price. My second (and definitely not last) purchase. Thanks!
This came very well packaged! I just planted them so hopefully they stick around!
ran into some shipping issues, and the seller was extremely communicative and flexible. i have no complaints whatsoever. the cactus itself arrived in excellent condition, packaged well, and the pot it came with is beautiful. thank you!
So cute! I potted them together. Roots were a little darker than I expected.. maybe taken out of soil before shipping. Otherwise leaves were cute and clean and green 🙂
Plant arrived healthy – well packaged.
All plants in my order came in perfect condition
Happy, healthy plant. Great packing. Fast shipping. What more could you ask for?
