Pellaea Rotundifolia - Button Fern

Button Fern 🌿
Pellaea Rotundifolia

Looking for a fern that doesn’t throw a tantrum when the humidity isn’t rainforest level? Meet the Button Fern small, mighty, and surprisingly chill for a fern. 

This New Zealand native is known for its glossy, round leaves or buttons that trail gently from upright fronds. It's a firm fave for shelves, desks, and shaded corners that need a little forest magic without the fuss.

✨ Why we love it:

🪴 Unfussy compared to most ferns
🪴 Cute with compact trailing growth
🪴 Looks amazing in pots, terrariums, or hanging baskets
🪴 Low maintenance and slow growing

💡 Light: Bright, indirect light is best, tolerates light shade too

💧 Water: Keep soil lightly moist, but never soggy, allow top layer to dry between waterings

🌱 Humidity: Prefers some humidity but doesn’t demand it, a bathroom BFF

🌡️ Temp: Loves warmth and dislikes sudden chills

🐾 Pet/Child Safe? Yep! Totally non toxic 💚

🌿 Top Tip: Avoid misting directly – this fern prefers consistent humidity around it, not on it.

Perfect for first time fern parents or anyone who wants that soft, leafy texture without the drama.
