The kangaroo fern reaches a height of 1 ft. tall and a width between 3 ft. and 4 ft. Most people grow the kangaroo fern indoors as a houseplant, but in areas without winter freeze, this plant can be grown in the ground outdoors.The leaves are not feathery like some other species of ferns. Instead, they are leathery and chunky (and some say, shaped like a kangaroo paw, hence its common name). This plant is resilient, but does require even moisture year-round.
