Overview:
Nephrolepis ‘Duffii’, commonly known as the Lemon Button Fern, is a compact and charming fern with small, rounded leaflets arranged along soft, arching fronds. Its neat growth habit and fine texture give it a light, airy appearance, making it ideal for smaller indoor spaces.

This fern is well loved for its resilience and adaptability compared to many other fern varieties. When brushed, the foliage may release a subtle citrus-like scent, adding to its appeal.

Care and Growth:
Nephrolepis ‘Duffii’ prefers bright, indirect light but adapts well to partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the fronds. The soil should be kept consistently moist but well-drained.

Higher humidity encourages lush growth, so occasional misting is beneficial, particularly in drier indoor environments. Growth is moderate, forming a compact, bushy plant over time.
