The Phlebodium Blue Star Fern loves to be kept in indirect light or even some shade. Give it a warm and humid home (min 17°C), and regularly mist and water it. Don't give your Blue Star Fern too much water, or its leaves may brown. Somewhat confusingly, browning tips, on the other hand, are normal - so don't worry about them.

As you might expect, plants in the giant expanse of the rainforest don't often have human contact, so this Prickle Plant prefers a more hands-off approach. Avoid touching your Phlebodium Blue Star Fern as much as you can, and if you do need to wear gloves if possible. For a nice even growth, turn your fern occasionally so it will get sunlight on all sides. This fast-growing plant will only reach a maximum height of 1m. Considering the Blue Star Fern doesn't like being touched at all, it should hardly come as a shock that it is not child and pet-friendly. Be sure to keep little Pricklettes away as it is toxic to them.
