{"product_id":"fern-button-6","title":"Fern: Button 6\"","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"105\" data-end=\"723\" class=\"\"\u003eButton Fern is a small, evergreen fern native to New Zealand. It features arching, wiry, dark brown to black stems (rachis) that bear round to oval, leathery, dark green leaflets arranged alternately along the stem. The leaves have a slightly glossy appearance and a firm texture, giving the plant a compact, structured look. Unlike many ferns, its fronds are not finely divided, which contributes to its distinctive, tidy form. The button fern is a slow-growing species with a dense, trailing habit, making it well-suited for containers, hanging baskets, and terrariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"730\" data-end=\"738\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003eHeight: 20–30 cm (8–12 inches).
