Description

The Lemon Button fern is a compact fern that features beautiful tiny rounded leaflets. Its arching stems only grow about a foot high which makes this fern very suitable to grow indoors or use for a terrarium planting. It gets it name from the lemony scent it produces when its foliage is crushed.

Plant Biography

The Lemon Button Fern is native to Florida, South America, Central America and pantropical regions of Asia. It is normally found growing around swaps or forests where there is plenty of rainfall because it thrives in moist, shady conditions. Its rhizomes spread vigorously beneath the soil to collect nutrients and to protect itself from fluctuating temperatures.
