Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Button Fern really easier to care for than other ferns?
Yes! Button Ferns are significantly more drought-tolerant and forgiving than traditional ferns. They can handle slightly drier conditions, adapt better to lower humidity, and are less prone to browning - making them perfect for fern lovers who want something more resilient.
How big will my Button Fern grow?
Button Ferns stay beautifully compact, typically reaching 6-12 inches tall and wide, making them perfect for small spaces, terrariums, and tabletop displays. Their slow, controlled growth means they won't quickly outgrow their designated spot.
Can I grow Button Ferns in terrariums?
Absolutely! Button Ferns are excellent terrarium plants due to their compact size and tolerance for humid, enclosed environments. Just ensure proper drainage and avoid overwatering in closed containers.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Yes! Pellaea rotundifolia is completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making it a perfect worry-free choice for families who want to enjoy its charming round foliage and air-purifying benefits safely throughout their home.
Why do the round leaflets sometimes drop off?
Occasional leaflet drop is normal, especially on older fronds or when the plant is adjusting to new conditions. However, excessive dropping usually indicates overwatering, underwatering, or sudden environmental changes. Adjust care and new growth will appear.

Offers Complete Privacy
Color: Black, Size: 132in-Large Metal Base
We tried others that were nice but this particular room divider adds total privacy. We were looking for that. Easy to assemble. There is no gap if you position each petition close enough. The guality is very nice. Exactly what we were looking for.

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.
