Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star' is a tropical fern native to the Caribbean, Central America, and parts of South America, where it grows epiphytically on tree branches in humid forests. In these environments, its rhizomes anchor to bark while absorbing moisture and nutrients from rainfall and decaying organic matter.

The plant is characterised by its soft, leathery fronds, which are an unusual blue-green colour with a slightly wavy margin. These fronds emerge from creeping, golden-scaled rhizomes that can spread over the surface of the growing medium or mounting material. Its foliage texture and colour make it distinct from most other common fern species.

In the wild, Phlebodium aureum reproduces via spores formed on the undersides of its fronds. In cultivation, it is typically propagated by division of the rhizomes. Its preference for indirect light and consistent moisture makes it a popular choice for shaded indoor spaces or sheltered outdoor positions in warm climates.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light but avoid strong direct sun.
  • Water: Keep the medium evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; mist during dry periods.
  • Media: Use a loose, free-draining mix rich in organic matter, such as an orchid bark and peat blend.
  • Fertiliser: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser.
  • Temperature: Best grown between 15-27 °C; protect from frost.
  • Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when rhizomes outgrow the container.

Best toy for heavy chewers
Color: Green
My dog is an aggressive chewer and I have trouble finding toys that last longer than 5 minutes before being so destroyed it is no longer safe to let him keep it. He loves this toy and naws on it for hours daily. Yes, it has multiple chew marks, but it is still intact completely. No little pieces have been chewed off. I highly recommend this toy for any dog especially those who destroy every toy in seconds like mine does.

NOT Indestructible and a Nylon Product (NOT A CHEW TOY)
Color: Green, Color: Green
I gave this dog toy 2-stars based on my dog toy rating system (DTRS) for “Bruce” the Green Alligator! Unfortunately, I didn’t notice in the fine print of the product description on the website that this toy consisted of Nylon. If I noticed that description, I would’ve never purchased this product. Please do your own research on Nylon wrt teeth. I wasn’t impressed with the toy construction out of the box. The nylon head and tail sandwich the rubber body with soft rubber spines on Bruce’s back for easy gripping. This is not an “Indestructible” dog toy. Safety (1-rating): 1. I was always concerned about my dog’s teeth possibly cracking while he was chewing on Bruce’s Nylon ends. Thankfully, his teeth were fine throughout the use of this toy. 2. The Nylon came off in small pieces after a few hours and continued for the life of the toy; see picture. I never intended for my dog to swallow pieces of Nylon. 3. Bruce’s rubber rear end is where most of the damage occurred, as my dog was tearing off pieces of rubber and spines, which he thankfully passed through his system over a period of 2-3 days after I threw Bruce away; see picture. 4. The chewed-up Nylon ends were very hard, rough, sharp and pointy. There were occasions where I noticed my dog’s gums were bleeding as a result of chewing this toy. 5. Bruce is big enough not to swallow in its entirety, which is why I’m giving this a 1-rating for safety. 6. This is a molded product and not a plush product. Durability (2-rating): 1. It took my dog 1 to 2-weeks to get the toy in the shape that is shown on the posted photos. 2. The Nylon was immediately being scratched and scraped apart on day-1. Then I noticed pieces of Nylon coming off of Bruce after 3-4 days. 3. The rubber was immediately being punctured with small divots around the body on day-1. I noticed over the next couple of days that my dog was focusing on the rear end and trying to pull the rubber off the Nylon tail. 4. The rubber started coming off more quickly after 1-week, until I removed it all together. Squeaker (N/A): 1. Bruce has no squeaker. Fatality (2-rating): 1. Bruce had a longer life than most of my dog’s toys, but then again, I expected this to last much longer as the seller claims it is “Indestructible”, which it is not. 2. I tried filing off some of Bruce’s chewed up Nylon ends to smooth them out for more chew time, but came to my senses and just threw him away for safety concerns only. In conclusion, “Bruce” the Green Alligator should not be given as a chew toy, but more as a fetch toy, unless you want your dog to digest the Nylon and rubber materials.
