Grown in pots or hanging baskets, Blue Star Ferns are compact growers that show off their bushy foliage at heights of under a foot. The curly bluish green leaves do not shed upon getting old. They prefer to branch into fingers.A Blue Star Fern is a unique tropical specimen that brings uniqueness to just about any setting with its blue sheen. Just ensure that you protect them from direct sunlight, and give them the right amount of humidity. Once established, a Blue Star can give you years and years of trouble-free growth putting on frond after shimmery blue frond.Locating: Direct sun or overly bright light can bleach or burn the leaves of a Fern. So any area that offers filtered light is best for these plants. They do extremely well in areas with indirect light.
