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.

Awful
I love this brand & expected more, especially for the price. the gloves are super bulky and uncomfortable. they’re hard to get on and off and have a strange feeling when on because of the gel lining. they also smell odd. i wore them so about a week with several different creams/balms/lotions etc. i woke up with them off multiple times which makes me know that i was uncomfortable in them during my sleep. they also caused a weird breakout on my hands up to my wrists that took over a week to go away with the help of cortisone. it was like hives but more rash like. i didn’t bother attempting to return them and decided to throw them out. waste of money, time & ended up with a rash at the end. they did make my hands softer and helped with my cracked skin but at what cost?

Update - Stick to your hands
UPDATED - I am SO impressed with the seller!! They read my review and gave me a full refund even though I no longer had the gloves to return. At this point I would suggest that you aren't taking a big risk to give these gloves a try, a lot of people obviously love them, and if you don't you can certainly get your money back. Many thanks to the excellent seller!
__________________________________________
I bought these because it seemed like there were a lot of good reviews. I hated these! I don't understand why anyone liked them... they are lined with thick sticky gel. You know those gel like sticky toys that kids toss at a wall and it sticks? Or do you recall the sticky, gummy hands that you could toss and they would pick up a piece of paper or something? The lining of these gloves make me think of those toys. So my experience is that they are very difficult to get on and once they're on they really bugged me after awhile I need to get them off, but they're very difficult to get off without turning the gloves inside out. ...then you have to try get them turned back to right side out... in the end I tried them and then thought I would try them one more time but they were such a pain in the rear that I ended up tossing them in the trash because I waited too long to be able to return them. One of my saddest purchases from Amazon!

Hallelujah!
My hands were so dry and cracked until I got these babies. I didn't realize what I was getting myself into and was surprised when they were lined with some kind of silicone. Night one, I lathered my hands with whatever lotion I had laying around and went to bed. Now, these gloves are not super comfy because they're so thick, but not so bad that I won't use them. Anyway, wore them several hours and took them off in the middle of the night (they recommend at least 20-30 minutes). In the morning, my hands were baby soft. No cracks. No dryness in sight. AND it lasted all day. I did it the night after and I have not had dry hands for nearly 2 weeks! It's insane. I'm SO happy. Definitely worth it as a little treat yourself.

Is this the CURE!
Size: Regular, Color: Cream
I have a skin disease called Ichthyosis Vulgaris. Yes, SCALEY FISH! Thanks MOM! This unfortunate crud leaves my heels an embarrassing mess! They are cracked and dry and literally like concrete. I have had this disease all my life and there is NO cure. It's hideous! Anyway, I have tried so many different experiments to help improve my situation. So much time and money I will never get back. So when I saw these, I had to give them a try too because I am a forever optimist and love being disappointed. Here's how it went.
First I put my dermatologist recommended AmLactin on my crusty heels. Then, I put the socks on. By the way, with no problem at all, and went to bed. I was not too hot, which is usually what happens when I sleep with socks on. I never even realized that I had them on. When I woke up, I took them off and immediately used a "Heel File" over a towel removing all the yuck!. Then, I sand papered them to smooth the skin out. Then, I doused them with Shea and Aloe foot lotion I found at the bottom of my experiment drawer in my bathroom. Oh, they felt like someone else's feet. I am very hopeful at this moment! Is this the cure to my embarrassing situation? I sure hope so. Spring is here and I would really like to wear my cute flip-flops when I go to the Waffle House and set at the bar. Wasn't that a picture on Facebook of someone nasty heels? It made me gag. Then, I had to make sure that picture wasn't me! I am going to do this for a week and come back for another review. Wish me luck ya'll!
UPDATE!
So it’s been about two weeks. I wish that I had taken a before and after picture. I guess I figure that this too will be a waste of money. NO! These little socks are a God send for me. I did buy AmLactin foot repair cream and that I highly recommend. It’s the best so far. They also offer an option with heel socks. They are soft and work very well also but one negative. They leave fuzzies on you feet and tools. Guys this is it for me. My search is over! I went to my mani/pedi queen yesterday and she was shocked when she saw my feet. She is spreading the word!
