Baby Plant - Lemon Button Fern (Nephrolepis Duffii)

Product Size

Pot diameter - 7cm

Position 

Nephrolepis cordifolia ‘Duffii’ prefers a semi-shaded environment without much direct sunlight. Exposing the plant to direct sun for too long will burn the plant and cause the leaves to turn brown.

Water

The plant does require moist and well-drained soil. The best watering scenario for this fern would be to provide water once the top two inches of soil has begun to dry out. Even though Lemon Button Ferns like lots of moisture, be sure not to over-water the plant. If the soil becomes, sodden, and completely saturated for long periods of time the fern will die. 

Temperature

Nephrolepis cordifolia ‘Duffii’ thrives best in 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it can survive temperatures as low as 55 degrees Fahrenheit for short periods of time. 

Humidity

Like its counterpart, Boston Fern, this plant is usually found in well-drained and moist soil in areas of medium to high humidity. For optimal growth and health, it will be best to place it somewhere high in humidity.

Fertiliser

Liquid fertilise in spring and summer.

Pet Friendliness

Not known to be poisonous by consumption of pets and humans.
