Golden Polypody Care

Since the Blue Star Fern is native to the tropics, it prefers moisture, but at the same time, it doesn’t like the soil being too wet. So you must keep the perfect balance when the soil is neither dry nor wet.

Pruning won’t work out if you want to promote desirable growth. But cutting to maintain a needed shape or size will work very well. Also, cutting and removing dead leaves is very important because they can attract diseases and pests.

It doesn’t require a lot of fertilizer. Even during the growing period, it needs only a small amount of it. In winter, the plant doesn’t need it at all.

Bright sunlight is the best, and you need to avoid direct one.

Most ferns are terrestrials, unlike the Blue Star Fern, which is an epiphyte. This means that potting soil doesn’t suit it, and you need potting media that is looser and well-draining.

Since it’s a fern, regular methods of propagating can’t be applied. But the division method will work!

The room temperature is enough, so the perfect temperature range is 64 to 77 F (18-25C).

The plant will thrive in plastic pots with draining holes.

Probably, it’s very interesting to see this plant in its natural habitat because it’s an epiphyte. So it doesn’t need soil; in its native rainforests, it grows on trees.
