Round-Leaf Fern

Pellaea rotundifolia, also known as the Round-Leaf Fern or Button Fern, is native to the subtropical regions of New Zealand and South America. This plant is a member of the fern family, but is distinguished by its small, round, leathery leaves that grow along thin, delicate stems. Its compact size and dense foliage make it a popular choice for indoors, especially for those looking for a discreet but charming plant.

This plant adapts well to a variety of indoor environments, preferring locations with indirect light or partial shade. The deep, glossy green leaves give Pellaea rotundifolia a fresh, natural appearance, making it an excellent choice for shelves, tables, or even hanging in baskets.

In its natural habitat, Pellaea rotundifolia grows in rocky crevices and shady slopes, making it ideal for environments with soft light and well-drained soils. This plant is moderately sized and does not require much maintenance, making it a practical and attractive option for any type of interior.

Unlike many ferns that require high levels of humidity, this plant is quite tolerant of drier conditions, making it ideal for those who cannot guarantee a consistently humid environment.
