Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star' has cool blue-green fronds with a softly divided, slightly uneven outline. New and mature fronds can vary from gently lobed to more irregularly cut, so the outline changes naturally from frond to frond.

The plant grows from golden-brown creeping rhizomes that sit close to the substrate surface. Those rhizomes need air around the scaly growth points, while the finer roots below prefer steady moisture in a loose, well-drained mix.

Blue-Green Fronds on Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

  • Frond colour: Blue-green to glaucous green fronds with a soft matte surface.
  • Leaf shape: Divided, lobed or irregularly pinnate fronds that vary naturally as the plant develops.
  • Rhizomes: Golden-brown, scaly growth points creep across the substrate surface.
  • Fern detail: Round sori can appear on mature frond undersides as normal reproductive structures.
  • Container growth: Surface rhizomes gradually extend across the pot as new fronds develop.

How Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star' Grows in a Pot

Phlebodium aureum is an epiphytic fern in the Polypodiaceae family, native from the southeastern United States and the Caribbean through tropical America. Indoors, its creeping rhizomes should stay near the surface so the scaly growth points remain aerated.

A shallow pot gives the rhizome room to travel across the mix. Deep planting can trap moisture around the rhizome and lead to softness, browning or slow decline.

Rhizome-Focused Care for Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps the fronds coloured and firm; harsh direct sun can scorch the soft blue-green surface.
  • Water: Keep the mix lightly and evenly moist, then let excess water drain fully from the pot.
  • Substrate: Use an airy fern or epiphyte-style mix so water reaches the roots and oxygen remains around the rhizome.
  • Pot choice: A wide, shallow pot gives the creeping rhizome room to spread across the surface.
  • Water quality: Soft or low-lime water is gentler on the fronds where tap water is very hard.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity reduces dry, crispy edges on the thin frond margins.
  • Repotting: Repot when the rhizome reaches the pot edge or the mix collapses and stays wet too long.

Leaf and Rhizome Issues on Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

  • Brown frond edges: Dry substrate, dry air or strong sun can crisp the thin frond margins.
  • Yellowing fronds: Wet, compact mix around the rhizome can stress the roots and older fronds first.
  • Soft rhizomes: Deep planting or stagnant moisture around the surface rhizome can cause rot.
  • Pests: Scale can settle along fronds and stems, especially on stressed indoor plants.
  • Sori confusion: Round dots on mature frond undersides are fern sori, not pests.

Safety for Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

Phlebodium aureum is considered non-toxic to cats, but chewing any houseplant can still irritate the stomach. Keep it away from pets that repeatedly nibble plants.

Botanical Background of Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

The species was first published by Linnaeus as Polypodium aureum in 1753 and later placed in Phlebodium by John Smith in 1841. The genus name Phlebodium is linked with veining, while the species epithet aureum means golden.

Do not buy Epson if you expect it to last.
Style: WF-3820 (Renewed)
I had previously had HP printers and they worked extremely well, honestly I had them for years and years at a time, much longer than would probably be typical for an at-home printer that gets a lot of use. I bought an Epson replacement as the price was right. I replaced the ink once in it, and it worked fine...then it would never read new ink. Well, it would read it was full, but it would print extremely light and if you had a barcode (like to return an Amazon package) the barcode would not print correctly to be able to use for shipment. So, I thought I must have just gotten a bad printer and that it was a year old so I guess it was due...so I bought this one. I have had it since May and just replaced the black in - and it is now doing the SAME thing as the previous Epson. It will not print correctly. I called Espon support and was told they could send me a new one BUT I had to give a CC# for them to 'hold' and it would not be charged if I returned the item. Well, then once it got down to it, she then stated that when the new one was sent back, they would 'review to make sure it is covered under warranty' and that it is 'their property' then, and if it is not under warranty, I would be charged...which was TWICE what I paid for the printer originally. So I told her nevermind. She could not understand why, which they state some arbitrary statement that 'if' it is found to be 'under warranty' then I would not be charged, but also specifying once returned it is their property. So, basically that sounded too 'iffy' to me and I am not going to return something to MAYBE not get charged DOUBLE what I paid for the item to begin with. That seems like a scam to get paid for the replacement item to be honest.

Bad worst experience.
Style: WF-3820 (Renewed)
Unfortunately I couldn't enjoy this all in one printer. I'm sure that it is a well-made printing machine. I had to return my printer the next day since it didn't came with the proper ink cartridges the proper instruction manual or the CD to set the computer up. I did manage to purchase new ink cartridges for this Epson printer unfortunately when I went through the setup process and install the ink cartridge the printer kept jamming on me. I don't know if the reason that I was having difficult with this printer it's because it was a refurbished printer. Try to resolve issue with printer over the phone with Amazon but that was a disappointment.
