The Lemon Button Fern is a variety of the Boston Fern that likes shady, indirect light. It has lemon green leaves that resemble buttons. The leaves also give off a lemony-fresh scent.

Indoor houseplants need a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to maintain healthy leaves, vibrant flowers, and a strong root system. Most indoor houseplant plant foods will provide the right amount of nutrients for a wide variety of plants. Many include additional nutrients that are beneficial to plants such as boron, magnesium, and manganese. Plant foods come in different forms such as liquid, slow-release, or granular products.

This type of soil mix is ideal for most houseplants because it’s well-draining, lightweight, and easy to handle. A good indoor houseplant soil mix will include ingredients such as compost, pine bark, coir, worm castings, peat moss, hydrafiber, or perlite.

Add this fern to your space for its lemony-fresh scented leaves.

A tad nerve-wracking to care for, as I've lost one before. These ferns love moisture, so I keep them on a shelf in my bathroom.

My lemon button fern lost all of its leaves soon after getting it. Not sure if I underwatered it or what.
