Blue Star Fern
Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'
Blue Star Ferns are epiphytes, in the wild, they grow on the side of trees, where they draw most of their nutrients from.
My crinkly leaves change depending on how they catch the light, and can appear blue or green. This creates depth and movement, ensuring I'm one of the most popular ferns around.
Phlebodium aureus grows under the dense rainforest canopy and requires little light to survive. They absorb moisture from humidity in the air, rather than through their roots alone. Perfect bathroom buddies!
This funky fern has sturdy, elongated, blue-green fronds that curl as they grow and spill out of their pot, making them wonderful hanging plants for a slightly shady corner. Ours even come with their very own detachable hanger, so you can put it straight up on a hook, railing or beam.
Growing pot size: 17cm plus hanging hook. We advise buying a larger decorative pot size as the lip of the hanging pot makes it slightly bigger
Overall plant height including growing pot: 30-40cm

Blue Star Fern - Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star' Plant Care Tips
Although they are easy-to-care indoor pot plants, in their natural habitat, Blue Star Ferns are found growing on the bark of host trees in the shaded rainforests of tropical America.
They are used to mid-to-higher temperatures (12° to 26℃) and can be grown outside during the summer months as long as they are not exposed to direct sunlight for over an hour.
Indoors, it’s recommended to place them away from radiators and heaters.
Phlebodiums are hard plants and can survive for a long time providing their needs are met.
Because of their natural habitat, they prefer shady and humid conditions with mid to lower light levels and weekly watering sessions to maintain their soil moist (not wet). They will also enjoy being placed in between other plants or a pebble tray partially filled with water.
Stealy kitchens and bathrooms are their favourite rooms in a home.
