How The Blue Star Fern Keeps You Happy:

• The Blue Star Fern is a fuss-free fern that will bring a funky and jungle aesthetic to your home or office with ease.
• Considered one of the easiest ferns, this is a great choice for fern lovers who prefer lower maintenance houseplants.
• This fern purifies the air from toxins and creates a happier and healthier environment for you.
• The unusual blue colour of the leaves will add a unique plant to your collection.

Where The Blue Star Fern is Happiest:

• Due to its natural tropical occurrence, the Blue Star Fern is happiest in high humidity and moist well-draining soil. 
• Mist regularly (with a spray bottle or mister) to enhance the moisture in the air around your Blue Star Fern. Or keep it in a relatively humid environment like the kitchen or a bathroom.
• Bright indirect light is ideal, but the Blue Star Fern can tolerate most light conditions.

Watering The Blue Star Fern:

• Keep moist at all times. Watering when the top 2cm of the soil has dried out.
• Avoid watering directly onto the plant and the rhizomes roots and water from the sides ensuring the water seeps through the soil of the entire pot.

Feeding The Blue Star Fern:

• Feed once a month during Spring and Summer with a liquid plant food.

Care Tip:

• Because the Blue Star Fern is an epiphyte (these funky ferns take in nutrients and moisture from the air) and enjoys well-draining soil, its best to plant your Blue Star Fern in a planting medium like orchid mix.
• Pure potting soil is not the best medium to plant the Blue Star Fern in, so try use something looser when repotting this striking houseplant.
