- Botanical Name: Microsorum diversifolium

Common Name(s): Kangaroo Foot, Kangaroo Paw
- Description: This Australian fern grows long indented leaves with a dark green color and glossy shine. Versatile and adaptable, Kangaroo ferns are suitable for any indoor environment. Care is similar to most other ferns, preferring indirect light and moisture.
- It is best to keep your kangaroo paw fern’s soil moist, but not soggy. Feed your plant with standard houseplant fertilizer diluted to half-strength once per month during the spring and summer growing season. Avoid fertilizing and cut back on watering during fall and winter when the plant's growth goes dormant.
- If you notice any brown, dry, or crispy leaves on your plant, trim them off at the base. If the leaves get dusty, you can wipe them down gently with a damp cloth or paper towel.
- Keep your plant in a place that gets moderate to bright indirect light. When grown outdoors, the plant can be kept in partial shade. Take care to keep the plant out of direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves and kill your plant.
-
An ideal temperature range for kangaroo paw fern is between 60 and 70 degrees.
Make sure to keep your plant in a place far from heaters, stoves, and the dry, blowing air of your ventilation system. If you notice rotting roots, you're likely overwatering, while drooping leaves can indicate underwatering.
