Insights
Native to the tropical rainforest of South America, the Blue Star Fern is an epiphyte, meaning it attaches itself to, and grows, on trees. Often found in the canopy of rainforests in addition to the lower levels, meaning that the fern likes a warm, humid environment out of direct sunlight.
