This epiphytic fern with bluish foliage has pubescent rhizomes. Its upright and rounded habit can create an interesting effect by adding movement. In a decorative setting, it attracts the eye with the silvery-blue color of its foliage. Although it doesn't have a trailing habit, the blue star fern is also charming in a hanging pot due to its compact and bushy appearance. It can lose its foliage if the air is too dry or too cold.
