Blue Star Fern 4"

Phlebodium aureum
Ferns are a classic shade plant family with numerous tropical/houseplant varieties. All are excellent as air purifying container plants, beautiful growing in hanging baskets, or displayed in terrariums, a humid bathroom or kitchen. Mandaianum (Phlebodium aureum) features unique, dusty, blue-green, fat finger-like fronds with a slightly waxy coating that allows it to tolerate brighter and drier conditions. It also produces fuzzy, tan colored, creeping rhizomes that will spill over the edges of its pot. This is a tropical, epiphytic fern that grows best in well-drained, barky, orchid mixes. Grow in bright to medium, indirect lighting from an eastern or northern exposure window, or under fluorescent lighting. Prefers cool to average household temperatures, 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray mist regularly and keep soil evenly moist to slightly dry. Supply extra humidity by setting on a shallow tray of moistened pebbles. Feed with indoor plant fertilizer April-September per package instructions. Grow indoors over winter.
