Description
The Lemon Button Fern produces small round leaves in the shape of buttons, reportedly with the scent of lemons, hence the name. At maturity this plant can grow to measure about 12 inches tall and wide. The ideal growing conditions of this plant consist of well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter, in bright indirect light, with adequate watering. The soil should be kept moist, but not waterlogged, and should never completely dry out to prevent wilting and discoloration of the leaves. The Lemon Button fern prefers an atmosphere with high humidity but can tolerate average humidity. To encourage more growth this plant can benefit from fertilizer, at half strength, once per month during the growing season. The hardiness zones of this plant are 8a to 10b.
