E.T. Footed Fern (Polypodium Formosanum 'Cristatum') - 6 Inch Indoor Houseplant

E.T. Fern is one of the most unique ferns you can add to your indoor plant collection. Its fuzzy, bright-green creeping rhizomes grow across the soil surface and over the edge of the pot, resembling tiny caterpillars or the famous fingers of E.T. Above the rhizomes, twisting gray-green fronds emerge with an unusual crested appearance that adds texture, movement, and character to any space. Lifestyle / Placement: Perfect for desktops, bookshelves, plant cabinets, terrariums, bathrooms, and bright indoor spaces where humidity levels are naturally higher. Its unusual rhizomes make it a conversation-starting addition to plant collections, while its compact growth habit works beautifully in apartments, offices, and smaller indoor spaces.
