Blue Star Fern

(Phlebodium aureum)

This beautiful blue/green fern is an epiphyte from the tropical forests of South America. It has a creeping rhizome that climbs trees and along branches.

Placement 

Place anywhere from good indirect light to semi shade

Watering 

Water in the sides of the pot and not directly onto the rhizome to help prevent root rot. Mist regularly if possible.

Fertiliser 

It does not require a lot of fertiliser - perhaps once a month in the warmer months with a half strength liquid ican Fast Food. Over feeding it will damage the roots.

Potting 

Repot only when very root-bound with an orchid potting mix.
