Wholesale FERN Footed E.T. Fern Live Plant 6in

The E.T. Fern, also known as the Caterpillar Fern or Grub Fern, is one of the most conversation-worthy ferns you can add to your collection. Its fuzzy, bright green rhizomes creep across the soil surface and spill over the edges of the pot, resembling tiny caterpillars or E.T.'s iconic fingers. Soft gray-green fronds emerge from these unique rhizomes, displaying charming twists, curls, and crested growth that give the plant a whimsical, sculptural appearance. Perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, plant stands, and terrariums, this unusual fern adds texture and character to any indoor space. Native to Japan, Taiwan, and China, the E.T. Fern thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates consistently moist soil with higher humidity. Its creeping rhizomes are best left exposed above the soil, where they can continue their distinctive growth habit and become the star of the display.
