How much water does the Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star' need?
The Blue Fern needs a lot of water. Exactly how much water you need to give depends on where your plant is located, how much light falls on that location, how humid the air is around the plant, how big the plant is and what kind of pot the plant is in. That is why it is always best to check with your finger.
Plants that are very thirsty may only dry out a few centimetres. Feel with your finger whether the soil is still wet on the surface, then it is best to wait a while before pouring. Once the first 10-20% of the top soil is dry, it's time for a sip!

This plant likes partial shade to a lot of indirect light. Therefore, the best place for this plant is near a window facing North, East or West.

It is best to only feed the Blue Fern when you see that it is in active growth. This is the case when new, young leaves keep appearing. Usually this happens in the warmer months of the year but with some plants, depending on their situation, it can be all year round.
With active growth, you can feed the Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star' once a month. We recommend organic and natural food in granular form. Granules release food slowly and for a very long time, unlike liquid food, and therefore only need to be added to your plant once or twice a year.
