Nephrolepis cordifolia 'Duffii', commonly known as the Lemon Button Fern, is a delightful, compact variety of sword fern native to tropical and subtropical regions within Australia and Asia. This small-sized fern is adored for its button-like leaflets, which give it a charming, delicate appearance. It emits a faint citrus scent when brushed, adding to its appeal as an indoor plant.
