Lemon Button Fern — Nephrolepis cordifolia

Description

Lemon Button Fern is a compact fern with small, rounded green leaflets on soft arching fronds. It fits well on shelves, tables, shaded patios, and small plant stands.

Its neat size makes it easy to mix with other ferns. Try it near Silver Lace Fern, the larger Macho Fern, or a classic Sword Fern.

How to Grow Lemon Button Fern

• Light: Bright indirect light or light shade is best.
• Soil: Use a loose mix that drains well.
• Water: Keep the soil lightly moist. Do not let the pot stay wet.
• Humidity: Average to high humidity helps keep the fronds fresh.
• Temperature: Protect the plant from frost and cold drafts.

Easy Fern Care

Water when the top of the soil starts to feel dry. Trim brown or old fronds near the base. Give the plant good air flow and keep it out of hot sun.

Where to Use It

Lemon Button Fern works well indoors or in a shaded outdoor pot during warm weather. Its small shape makes it a good choice for tight spaces where a large fern would be too much.
