Plant Care Guide for Fern Lemon Button:

1. Light Requirements: Place your Fern Lemon Button in bright, indirect light. It thrives in moderate to high light conditions but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate foliage.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent overwatering.

3. Temperature and Humidity: Maintain a room temperature between 60-75°F (15-24°C). This fern prefers higher humidity levels, so misting the plant or using a humidifier can be beneficial, especially in dry indoor environments.

4. Soil and Fertilization: Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for ferns. Feed your Fern Lemon Button with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

5. Pruning and Maintenance: Trim any brown or damaged fronds to encourage new growth and maintain the plant's compact shape. Regularly clean the leaves to prevent dust buildup.

6. Toxicity: The Fern Lemon Button is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with pets and children.

7. Pests: While relatively resistant to pests, occasional mealybugs or spider mites may appear. Use our Damn Bug! Organic Pesticide to treat and prevent any pest issues.
