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.

Works as intended.
Size: S
The fact that this holds the racking cane in place is fantastic. It is like having another set of hands However, I would have liked to see a version, or additional piece of hardware that could be used to keep the cane from moving around so much and to keep it tilted toward the direction the carboy is tilted. But nonetheless, the unit does what it is intended.

Small clip, big help
Size: S
I've been making wine for 3 years now. Due to a cramped work area I use about 20 carboys which makes for lots of siphoning each time I need to re-rack. This small clip has made the process so much less hassle. It clips nicely to the 3, 5 and 6 gallon glass carboys that I use. It's tight enough on the siphon tube to prevent slippage. Pro-tip: Once your siphon is started, slide the clip around the rim of the carboy to position it under the siphon hose. This will keep the siphon tube fairly straight up and down in the carboy. Otherwise, the weight and pressure of the hose will cause the tube to not be vertical and you'll miss a larger portion of your beverage in the re-rack than you would if the tube were perfectly vertical.

Hold the tube. Save the world.
Size: S
Very great item. The printing resolution is very good and you can tell from the rigidity that it was not sparsely filled. Helps holds siphons onto my 5gal glass carboy and plastic bucket. I also used it to weigh down my siphon tube for a makeshift blow off tube during fermentation. Would recommend.

Very small
Size: S
I tried to use it for something it wasn’t advertised for so it’s partially my fault. I tried to use to hold wa washer discharge hose. The specs don’t say the size. This thing is tiny… it really is just for a tubing… and when I tried to return it they wanted to charge me almost as much as the original price… not worth it unless you know it will work
