Medium care
A very popular landscaping fern with thin arching fronds and tiny round leaf segments, giving it the classic “button” look. Forms thick clumps, spreads quickly, and thrives in pots, beds, or hanging baskets. Highly favored for groundcovers, medians, borders, and indoor decoration due to its durability and lush appearance. Recognized as a NASA-recommended air-purifying fern.
