The rare
Blue Oil Fern
is grown for its
unusual coloring
and iridescent
blue sheen that
gives it a glossy
appearance. This
epiphytic fern
from Southeast
Asia comes from
shaded jungles
in limestone
regions, where
the blue serves as an adaptation to capture more light in the understory. In
other words, under low light the fern gets bluer. Like many ferns, keep evenly
moist and grow in partial sun to shade. With attention to watering and high
humidity, this Blue Oil Fern will grace your shady windowsill for years to come.
