This little fern won its spurs as a house plant because of its ability to enjoy a dry atmosphere but as happens from time to time people started planting them outside in cold climates (they probably didn’t know you couldn’t) and – surprisingly – they loved it.
Like all ferns, it likes a good loamy soil with a high organic content but is more tolerant of a dry atmosphere than most.
It still works as a house plant – in common with the well known Nephrolepsis fern.
The common name is Button Fern. No one knows why and we avoid the name on the nursery because Sophie has a strong antipathy to the word button. Why? No one knows that either.
Propagated from spores.
