Native to tropical regions, this fern thrives in warm, humid environments and adds a touch of softness and vibrancy to any indoor space. Its pet-friendly nature and easy-to-manage size make it a perfect choice for homes with furry friends or limited space.
- Common Names: Lemon Button Fern, Button Fern
- Botanical Name: Nephrolepis cordifolia 'Duffii'
- Size: Grows up to 12-18 inches tall and wide indoors with proper care.
Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light but avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate fronds.
- Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Use distilled or rainwater if possible, as ferns are sensitive to chemicals in tap water.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly, place near a humidifier, or use a pebble tray to maintain humidity levels.
- Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
- Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F.
- Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix with organic matter.
