Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star' has cool blue-green fronds with a softly divided, slightly uneven outline. New and mature fronds can vary from gently lobed to more irregularly cut, so the outline changes naturally from frond to frond.

The plant grows from golden-brown creeping rhizomes that sit close to the substrate surface. Those rhizomes need air around the scaly growth points, while the finer roots below prefer steady moisture in a loose, well-drained mix.

Blue-Green Fronds on Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

  • Frond colour: Blue-green to glaucous green fronds with a soft matte surface.
  • Leaf shape: Divided, lobed or irregularly pinnate fronds that vary naturally as the plant develops.
  • Rhizomes: Golden-brown, scaly growth points creep across the substrate surface.
  • Fern detail: Round sori can appear on mature frond undersides as normal reproductive structures.
  • Container growth: Surface rhizomes gradually extend across the pot as new fronds develop.

How Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star' Grows in a Pot

Phlebodium aureum is an epiphytic fern in the Polypodiaceae family, native from the southeastern United States and the Caribbean through tropical America. Indoors, its creeping rhizomes should stay near the surface so the scaly growth points remain aerated.

A shallow pot gives the rhizome room to travel across the mix. Deep planting can trap moisture around the rhizome and lead to softness, browning or slow decline.

Rhizome-Focused Care for Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

  • Light: Bright filtered light keeps the fronds coloured and firm; harsh direct sun can scorch the soft blue-green surface.
  • Water: Keep the mix lightly and evenly moist, then let excess water drain fully from the pot.
  • Substrate: Use an airy fern or epiphyte-style mix so water reaches the roots and oxygen remains around the rhizome.
  • Pot choice: A wide, shallow pot gives the creeping rhizome room to spread across the surface.
  • Water quality: Soft or low-lime water is gentler on the fronds where tap water is very hard.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity reduces dry, crispy edges on the thin frond margins.
  • Repotting: Repot when the rhizome reaches the pot edge or the mix collapses and stays wet too long.

Leaf and Rhizome Issues on Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

  • Brown frond edges: Dry substrate, dry air or strong sun can crisp the thin frond margins.
  • Yellowing fronds: Wet, compact mix around the rhizome can stress the roots and older fronds first.
  • Soft rhizomes: Deep planting or stagnant moisture around the surface rhizome can cause rot.
  • Pests: Scale can settle along fronds and stems, especially on stressed indoor plants.
  • Sori confusion: Round dots on mature frond undersides are fern sori, not pests.

Safety for Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

Phlebodium aureum is considered non-toxic to cats, but chewing any houseplant can still irritate the stomach. Keep it away from pets that repeatedly nibble plants.

Botanical Background of Phlebodium aureum 'Blue Star'

The species was first published by Linnaeus as Polypodium aureum in 1753 and later placed in Phlebodium by John Smith in 1841. The genus name Phlebodium is linked with veining, while the species epithet aureum means golden.

Great Dual Monitor Mount
Color: White-Mount
I bought this dual monitor arm desk mount for my wife’s computer to mount two 32” monitors. Unpacking and installation were fairly straight forward. The only two issues I had were: 1). Instructions state that this mount can be installed using a grommet hole in a desk to secure it to the desk. However, most grommet holes in desks (at least in the United States) are 2” holes. The grommet mounting option uses two all-thread bolts screwed into the base, but the outside spacing of the bolts is about 2-1/4” which, of course, is too big for 2” grommet holes. I ended up drilling two smaller holes in the desk, one for each all-thread bolt. On the plus side, this option secures the mount to the desk very securely. 2). There is no guidance in the installation instructions for optimal placement of the arm mount on the desk. I ended up temporarily installing the lower set of arms on the mount base and then experimented moving the base around the desk while swinging the arms to make sure they would clear all computer and other equipment on the desk as well as the walls. This method worked well and final placement clears everything while still giving full articulation of both arms. The unit is very heavy-duty and quality is excellent. Other than the two items mentioned above I am very impressed with this product. After installing this unit on my wife’s desk, and playing with it for a few days, I ordered one for my desk. Because of the two issues above I would give this 4-1/2 stars if I could. But these smaller issues are not enough for me to lower my rating to 4 stars, so 5 stars it is.

Great Looking and Sturdy Monitor Arms
Color: White-Mount, Color: White-Mount
I'm so impressed with these arms. They're super strong and sturdy holding up my 27" monitor and 34" ultrawide monitor. Setting up for the most part is pretty simple and easy. One of the best things I like about these arms is the cable management. I had several arms before for my setup at home and work, and the cable covers are usually pretty flimsy and just slide and lock in. I have a lot DP and HDMI cables due to my dual workstation, so these cable covers often end up popping out since its so full. These cable covers are different since they are screwed down tight with a bolt. All my cables fit pretty snug, but there is no bulging and I don't have to worry about the covers popping off ever again. I'd recommend keeping it at a maximum of 4 thicker cables though. However, fair warning that attaching the covers can be a pain so if you have to detach cables often, the screwed in covers can be a problem. If you have a set up like mine that won't really change often, it works well. If you can, I would suggest having 2 people set up the cable management. One to hold down the cover in place and the other to screw it in. I did it myself just fine though. The range of motion is great for my needs, but please note that I tried stacking my monitors and it didn't quite work. I would say it's 1 to 2 inches shy of properly stacking them. Overall, a great looking set of dual monitor arms. The extra ports on the base are a cool feature that do work, but I haven't had much use of it yet. Love that they had a white option to match my set up too. These are a little pricey, but they're really worth it!

Review of AVLT Dual 13"-35" Monitor Arm Desk Mount I do not usually rate items, except for products that are exceptional or are provided by a vendor that is above all others. I looked at this item several times, because the price was $100 less than my five year old dual arm could not raise the 38” monitor more that 8” from the desk surface and barely keep my wiring hidden. Finally, the website for AVLT convinced me to place the order for the AVLT-DM41-1, Dual 13"-35" Monitor Arm Desk Mount. I was not disappointed. The quality and finish of the aluminum mount is space age quality, the manual acceptable (ilea type); most important the I can raise my 38” monitor to a perfect ergonomic height. My monitors are a Dell 38” U3818DW, (larger than 13” to 35” range) and a Dell 24” U2412M, U. for each I use the factory power cable, DP to DP display port 6 foot cables and high speed USB 3 cables for each monitor. The assembly went without a hitch, no problem hiding the heavy cables that I use, my only problem was that my was not a C-clamp, attaching the hex bolts to the base from the underside of my desk was difficult; t would had been easier had they used a stud bolts to clamp the unit down. The arm springs had no problem supporting my 38” monito, the unit is so sturdy I expect to receive years of service. I strongly recommend this item because of value, quality and design. You will be hard pressed to find an equal or better product regardless of the price.

Great product
Color: White-Mount
Amazing product. It’s perfect. Tried a few other dual monitor arms and they sucked and didn’t hold up the monitors. This one is amazing and aesthetically pleasing. Well worth the money. All parts included. Large range of motion, you just have to loosen the screws to make it easier to move or tighten to keep everything still. Perfect size and provides all my amount of desk space back.
