Blue Star Fern - Phlebodium Aureum

Phlebodium aureum is a tropical fern that is native to South America. It is known for its bright green leaves that have a star-shaped pattern. Blue Star Ferns are relatively easy to care for and make excellent indoor plants.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Blue Star Ferns prefer bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch their leaves.
• Water: Blue Star Ferns should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch. Do not overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
• Temperature: Blue Star Ferns prefer warm temperatures between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius. They can tolerate cooler temperatures, but their growth will slow down.
• Humidity: Blue Star Ferns enjoy high humidity. If the humidity in your home is low, you can mist the leaves regularly or place the plant on a pebble tray.
• Soil: Blue Star Ferns do well in a well-draining potting mix. You can add some sand or perlite to the mix to improve drainage.
• Fertilizer: Blue Star Ferns do not need to be fertilized often. A light application of fertilizer once a month during the growing season is sufficient.
