Description
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. Plant Highlights: • Difficulty: Moderate • Non-toxic to pets and humans • Unique fuzzy rhizomes resemble caterpillars or E.T.'s fingers • Decorative twisting, crested fronds with soft gray-green foliage • Excellent for hanging baskets, terrariums, and collector plant displays • Adds texture and visual interest to indoor plant collections Basic Care: • Light: Bright, indirect light • Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; do not allow rhizomes to dry out completely • Temperature: 60°F–75°F (16°C–24°C) • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+) Shipping & Handling: • Orders ship with a heat pack when temperatures drop below 50°F / 10°C. • Heat packs help protect plants during transit. • Bring your order inside as soon as it’s delivered. • Some soil may shift during transit; this is normal. • Unpack plants promptly. • Contact us within 24 hours if anything needs attention. • Seasonal availability may cause slight variation.
