Why It's Called 'Lemon Button'?

The 'Lemon Button' fern (Nephrolepis cordifolia 'Duffii') gets its name from the small, rounded, golden-green leaflets that resemble buttons-and the faint lemony scent they release when brushed. It's also known as the Fishbone Fern or Duffii Fern in the plant world.


Easy Plant Care Tips

This fern is surprisingly low-maintenance for the species. Here's how to keep it thriving:

  • Water: Maintain slightly moist soil without letting it sit in water. Always allow excess to drain.

  • Light: Place in medium to low indirect light. It's perfect for rooms that don't get direct sun.

  • Feeding: Fertilize monthly during its active growth season (spring/summer) with a balanced NPK fertilizer.

  • Humidity: Loves high humidity-perfect for bathrooms or kitchens.


Natural Air Purifier

The 'Lemon Button' isn't just cute-it's functional. Like other ferns, it helps remove airborne toxins such as formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene, promoting cleaner indoor air and a healthier living environment.


Safe for Pets

Good news for pet parents-this fern is non-toxic to cats and dogs. While it's always wise to keep plants out of reach of curious paws, this one's considered pet-safe.


Best Places to Display

  • Bathroom - thrives in humidity and looks great on a shelf or windowsill

  • Bedroom - adds freshness and calm with its gentle lemon aroma

  • Office Desk - compact and uplifting, it's ideal for small spaces that need a green touch

Care Instructions

Light

Medium, indirect or part-shade

Water

Keep the soil slightly moist. Water thoroughly and drain any excess water.

Repotting

This can be done every 12-18 months. Choose a pot that is 2” larger in diameter than the original pot.
