Description
Add soft colour and texture to your indoor plant collection with the beautiful Blue Star Fern, Phlebodium aureum. Unlike traditional deep-green ferns, this distinctive variety produces elongated, gently wavy fronds in an unusual blue-green to silvery-green shade, giving it a wonderfully contemporary appearance.
Its foliage emerges from characterful creeping rhizomes and gradually forms a lush, spreading plant. The irregularly shaped fronds give the Blue Star Fern a relaxed, tropical appearance that works particularly well on shelves, plant stands and furniture where its foliage has room to spread.
Phlebodium aureum is also relatively forgiving compared with some more demanding indoor ferns. It appreciates consistent moisture and humidity but doesn’t need permanently saturated compost, making it a good choice for anyone who loves ferns but wants something a little easier to manage.
As an added benefit, the Blue Star Fern is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it an excellent option for pet-friendly houseplant collections.
How to Care for Blue Star Fern
• Position in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate somewhat lower-light positions, although growth may be slower.
• Keep the compost lightly moist, allowing the surface to begin drying between waterings rather than leaving it permanently wet.
• Use a loose, well-draining growing medium and ensure excess water can escape freely.
• Appreciates moderate to high humidity, making it particularly well suited to kitchens and bright bathrooms.
• Avoid burying the furry creeping rhizomes beneath the compost, as these naturally grow along the surface.
• Feed lightly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced houseplant fertiliser.
