Phlebodium aureum 'The Blue Star Fern'
The Blue Star Fern is a hardy large growing fern producing small flat leaves when young, but as they mature form thick runners with large pinnate fronds. These ferns are well suited for indoors as they grow well in low light, great for large pots, planters and terrariums. Aureum is a hardy fern that requires regular watering but does not like to be wet for long periods. In terrariums very little water is needed.
Aureum is a rapid grower and may require some cutting back so it can be kept small and compact for long periods.
Water well in pots but sparingly in terrariums.
Potting mix must be allowed to almost dry between waterings. Keep on the dry side in winter. Position in some direct sunlight or provide artificial light.
Avoid heaters and draughty positions. Fertiliser should be only used if you would like the plant to grow. Lack of fertiliser will keep plants shorter and more compact. Temperatures above 20C will speed up growth, between 10 and 20C growth will be extremely slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact. Dead leaves can be removed for cosmetic reasons.
