Know before you buy
Yes, the Fern Chester (Nephrolepis cordifolia 'Lemon Buttons') is non-toxic and completely pet-safe, making it a worry-free choice for households with curious animals.
While it thrives in high humidity, which makes it ideal for bathrooms, it still requires some light to grow. If your bathroom has no natural light, you will need to provide a supplemental grow light to keep the plant healthy.
This fern has high water requirements and prefers to stay consistently moist. Check the soil regularly and water whenever the top inch begins to feel dry to the touch.
No, the Fern Chester arrives established and ready to display. In fact, this fern actually prefers to be slightly root-bound, so you should only consider repotting it every two years.
It is quite versatile and can tolerate low light conditions, though it will also grow well in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the delicate fronds.
