Common Name: Button Fern

Pellaea rotundifolia, also known as the Button Fern, is a popular small fern native to New Zealand. It is highly regarded for its elegant, arching fronds and distinct round leaflets. This fern is a great choice for indoor plant aficionados seeking to incorporate a touch of greenery into their living space without requiring much room. Here's how to properly care for this charming fern: The Button Fern usually grows up to a modest size of 30 cm in both height and spread. Its compact growth pattern makes it ideal for terrariums, compact hanging baskets, or as a desk plant. Pellaea rotundifolia thrives best in moderate to bright indirect light. It is important to avoid direct sunlight, as it can damage the delicate fronds. A north-facing window or a spot with filtered light is recommended. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.
