Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Lemon Button Fern's color so vibrant?
The Lemon Button variety is specifically cultivated for its bright yellow-green coloration. This vibrant lime color is natural to the cultivar and becomes more pronounced with proper bright, indirect light and adequate humidity. It's not variegation but rather the plant's natural leaf color.
How large will my Lemon Button Fern grow?
Lemon Button Ferns stay beautifully compact, typically reaching 8-12 inches tall and wide, making them perfect for small spaces, windowsills, and terrariums. Their controlled growth means they won't quickly outgrow their designated spot.
Can I grow this fern in a terrarium?
Absolutely! The compact size and humidity-loving nature make Lemon Button Ferns excellent terrarium plants. Their bright color adds beautiful contrast to terrarium landscapes. Just ensure proper drainage and avoid overwatering in enclosed containers.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Yes! Nephrolepis ferns are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their vibrant yellow-green foliage and cheerful beauty safely throughout their home.
Why is my fern losing its bright yellow-green color?
Loss of vibrant coloring usually indicates insufficient light or low humidity. Move to a brighter location with indirect light and increase humidity levels. The cheerful lemon color should return with proper care conditions and adequate moisture in the air.

Good Product
Size: 3 Panel-102'', Color: Beige
I got these dividers for outdoor use for some privacy from neighbors. They arrived quickly and were easy to set up. They look good, and though the legs don’t offer stability against any amount of wind—which I expected as it wasn’t advertised for outdoor use—all it took was placing a cinder block on the feet to hold it up right. Coverage is good, it’s easy to fold and move as needed, and it’s light weight. All in all a decent product. I will caution the purchase of “used like-new,” as both of the dividers I ordered were previously returned items, and one came missing a cap, instructions were not included, and the poles were all mixed up and not properly labeled. If I had not ordered a second divider (which did include the instructions) I would have had a much harder time figuring out which pieces were which and how to put them together.

So versatile! Perfect solution for dividing a room.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey, Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Grey
Perfect solution for my space. My office has to double as the hangout room for the kids and I wanted something that would block off my computer so it is left alone. This space allows me to close off my computer as much or as little as I want. It is lightweight yet has sturdy feet. This is important so that if it gets bumped it won’t topple over. The price was great and the build time wasn’t too bad! I would recommend two people for set up. I went with the grey panels and I think I’ll end up hanging some twinkle lights at some point. Great purchase!

4/5 Stars
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Very tall and easy to set up, the only thing I will say is that they do have large gaps in between, so you won't have 100% privacy unless you add a curtain in the back. Other than that, they are easy to fold, sturdy, and esy to assemble. The gaps are an easy fix so I would say they are worth it.

Great product and worth the money.
Size: 4 Panel-88'', Color: Black
Portable and stable. Perfect size and gives me the privacy I need when working from home. Stability is great as long as you place the stands correctly it won't wobble. I love it.
