Button fern has arching fronds lined with small, round, glossy leaflets like tiny buttons. Unlike most ferns, it doesn't like soggy soil, so it's a good fern for anyone who tends to underwater. It's safe around cats and dogs.

Pet safety Non-toxic to cats and dogs
Light Medium, indirect
Mature size About 12 inches tall and wide

How to care for it

  • Light: medium, indirect light. Direct sun scorches the fronds.
  • Water: let the top inch of soil dry, then water. It prefers to stay on the drier side compared to other ferns.
  • Humidity: normal home humidity is fine.
  • Temperature: 60 to 80°F, away from heat vents and drafts.

Common questions

Is it safe for cats and dogs?

Yes. Button fern is non-toxic to cats and dogs. A pet that eats a lot of any plant may get a mild upset stomach, but it won't be poisoned.

Why are the fronds turning yellow?

Usually too much water. Button fern likes the soil to dry slightly between waterings, so water less often and make sure the pot drains.
