Fern 'Lemon Button'

Lemon Button Fern 🍋🌿 is a charming little fern with tiny rounded leaflets and a soft, fluffy look that makes it feel extra fresh and cheerful. It does best in bright indirect light indoors with a bit of added humidity, making it a great choice for bathrooms, kitchens, desks, or smaller shelves where it can stay evenly comfortable. This one is generally manageable, but like most ferns it prefers consistency and does not want to dry out completely. Pro tip: if it starts looking crispy, move it away from vents and keep the soil lightly moist instead of letting it swing from bone dry to soaked 💧.
