Pellaea rotundifolia or the button fern is a beautiful little fern that’s surprisingly easy to care for. The delicate, button-shaped leaves along the lengths of its fronds are a wonderful way to soften up an area, and the deep forest greens are sure to add a touch of class. Plus, as one of the few truly compact fern species – maxing out at around 15 inches tall – it’s a perfect fit for terrariums and small windowsills. Though the darker leaves indicate that it’s able to handle lower light levels – because they have a higher concentration of chlorophyll – you’ll want to maximise brightness if you want that vibrant foliage to thrive. North-facing windows are a safe option, providing a full day of indirect light. Or, East-facing would be the next best with mostly indirect light and some soft morning direct light. For a fern, Pellaea rotundifolia has surprisingly light watering requirements.It’ll still appreciate regular moisture, but it’s not nearly as demanding as many other fern species. In fact, it’ll rapidly deteriorate if oversaturated.
Soggy soils are a big no for this plant. The Button Fern is a relatively slow grower, and remains a very compact plant even when mature. Making it a shop favorite for terrariums! Come check out this fern and all the new ones we have in stock!
