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.

Lemon: Very weak, almost undetectable
Scent: Lemon
I’m not impressed. I ordered the “Lemon” and it’s nothing like the “Aloe & Green” Tea we had at work. Unfortunately Amazon mixes the reviews together, so you can’t tell which scent actually got the good reviews. I can barely smell the lemon and I have to try really hard. And I’m someone who prefers soft scents that are not overpowering, because I have a sensitive nose. I can’t deal with strong perfumey stuff. But I would like to at least smell something. I remember the Aloe & Green Tea has a nice soft scent, that I could actually smell. So I’m not sure what’s going on with the lemon, unless I got a dud. I’m having a hard time believing this is how it normally is. I’m going to get some opinions from my guests and see if they can smell it.

Such a fresh clean scent
Scent: Ocean Breeze
Such a clean fresh scent Doesn't have all the toxic chemicals in most room sprays. I have been using this for years. One spray freshens the room.

Great for sensitive skin, cleans well.
Scent: Unscented, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Only soap I can use at the moment. I have extremely sensitive skin: I cannot do really any coconut derivatives or even palm oils but this soap does not bother me at all. I feel clean with no heavy scents afterwards (I use the unscented version) which is a win in my book. I don’t use it on my face or hair just as a body soap and it doesn’t make my skin feel prickly or give me any unexpected rashes/reactions. It is a little drying for eczema prone skin so I just use more lotion when necessary. You get two very large bars that last well for the price it seems reasonable, but honestly I’d pay anything to not itch at this point.

You will not regret buying!!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I don't normally write product reviews but this soap truly deserves it. I had heard about beef tallow products as a carnivore dieter but hadn't paid too much attention to them until I found a huge mass on my thyroid. Suddenly, I'm looking at all the products that I use and am shocked that everything has endocrine disrupters like dyes and fragrances. This was the most natural soap I could find and what a huge turn around in my skin. I have always had certain areas that are habitually dry and even lotion would not 100% fix them. After using this soap for over 2 weeks, my skin is so smooth and almost has that glow you see in lotion commercials. I have not applied any lotion at all in the last 2 weeks and I'm softer than I have ever been. I even shaved with it and it was the smoothest shave I have ever had. I used to use conditioner to shave with and this soap is far superior. It is also far superior to the facial lotion soap I was using. My face isn't dry anymore and no more rebound oil. The people that I have told about this are immediately grossed out and think that the soap smells. There is an ever so slight hint of tallow but it does not last and once you start using the bar it isn't noticeable unless you sniff the bar itself. It does initially leave that sticky feeling that you get from Castille soap, which is strange when you're used to conventional beauty bars or body washes. But please don't quit using it! That sticky feeling is adding moisture and protection to your skin and once you towel off I promise you will not feel sticky. After a few weeks, I promise it won't feel weird anymore and you'll have the best skin of your life!! I'm sorry for the long review, but I am so grateful for this product. It is not only a beauty miracle but better for your whole body, no more toxic chemicals leaching through you skin. And people are not lying when they say this soap lasts. I use it twice a day and I still have a good sized bar left. Also, it really does not disintegrate like regular bar soaps. A few reviews mentioned it being expensive and my husband also commented on this when I bought it, but in my opinion it is extremely cost effective!! This is my rationale, it replaces the facial lotion wash, shaving conditioner, and the need for body lotion and it lasts a long time. My other reasoning is that the long term medical costs of using toxic products just doesn't seem worth it.
