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.

Much better than the old model.
Style: L50 SES
I had an old s11 that finally died. This one is much better. It maps the house and follows a snake pattern. Once the mapping is finished you can select what rooms you want to clean. I like the self emptying feature. Plenty of battery life.

Good performance, flaky Wi-Fi connection
Style: L50 SES
The L50 physically works great - it does a good job of picking up dust and dirt at the end of the day. The pathfinder and route planning algorithm is fairly efficient at determining the best way to clean a room. Sometimes it kicks around bits of dust with its spinning brush without picking it up, but it's not often.
What has been terrible, however, is the Wi-Fi support. Since our provider disabled 2.4 GHz support from their router modem without notice, I use a Mac Mini to supply the 2.4 GHz signal, and even though the Eufy is next to it and my phone gets full signal strength, it still can't connect to it half the time. After it fails to connect, it needs to be restarted or even reset to try to get the connection again. Support doesn't seem to be helpful in offering a solution.

Incredible robot.
Size: 11S MAX, Size: 11S MAX
I have had this vacuum for nearly a year now, running it on an automatic schedule every single day, and I am so grateful for this product and how it has improved my quality of life.
This vacuum and its automatic schedule has meant that I rarely see any dust or dog hair on my floor and I no longer have to take the time to vacuum. The amount of dust this machine collects is unbelievable- the photo I included of the yield is from HALF of a cycle.
Flooring/obstacles
I use my eufy on hard floor and short carpet and it works wonderfully. It does snag on high pile rugs so I try to put my bathroom mat up when I remember.
Eufy does get stuck on things so it took some time to determine what picking up I need to do before it’s “shift.” This has not been a nuisance, it’s more of a good motivation to do a quick cleanup.
Durability
Also, long hair is a challenge and I do have to cut it out of the brush head about once a week. I also recently replaced the brush head which was a great reset. The side spin brush also broke down over a few months and replacing that REALLY improved the power of the machine. I’ll be replacing it as soon as I notice breakage now.
Noise
I think it has gotten a bit louder over the year I have owned it. I used to be able to sleep through the noise, now it’s a bit too loud for me especially as it gently bangs against the walls (doesn’t scuff though).
Overall, this is a gift and I will never not have one for the rest of my life

BEST ROBOVAC EVER!
Size: 11S MAX
This is BEST Robovac you'll ever own, IMHO.
I purchased the first robovac made by a different company when these little things were a completely new concept. This is BEST Robovac you'll ever own, IMHO. I purchased the first robovac made by a different company when these little things were a completely new concept. It was such a surprise as to how good it was, and how it made a difference in time spent housekeeping every day. I've been a fan ever since (20+ yrs) and have tried many different brands and models. The Eufy is the best! And I have purchased 3 of this model.
Depending upon your budget and specific needs, there are things I've learned, and I'm going to break those points down for your consideration. Possibly they may apply to your situation. These points are some requirements that make all the difference to me and my lifestyle. ~~>
#1. Two auxiliary brushes.: This is the most important thing for me and is a no brainer, IMHO. The two brushes, one on each side of the front edge (approx 11 and 2 o'clock) sweep the debris to the underneath center of the unit where it is sucked up. Because there are two, they sweep a larger area, and because the vac covers the same areas more than once, you get better cleaning results. This is very important in kitchens and high traffic areas. Also corners are swept from both sides.
#2. Undercarriage rotating beater brush: I have both carpeted and uncarpeted areas. I need more than just suction to lift dust, pet hair, dirt, and debris from my floors. My kitchen does not have carpet so an undercarriage beater brush is not a requirement, but my Family room has carpeting, and my Living room has Oriental wool and silk rugs. They need a light agitation to help lift up the dust so the vacuum can easily suction it up. A beater brush is a major requirement for my floors for this reason.
#3 Scheduling option: this is WONDERFUL! Our major living areas are scheduled to vacuum after we've gone to bed, and our bedrooms and bathrooms are scheduled while we are gone during the day. Happy feet!
#4. Rechargeable on its own! Need I say more? It goes back to the recharging station to recharge itself when it needs more juice. YAY! We live on three floors, and this is a huge plus for us.
#5. The Customer service with this company is amazing! If you have any issues, regardless of how small, they will get back to you, and immediately help. They respond, and do not merely send you to a FAQ link.
#6. It is gentle and does not smack into your furniture, scuffing it.
#7. The more you use it, the cleaner your house will be. Regular dusting is done on a daily basis so there is less and less dirt and dust to deal with. It is amazing the difference! Weekend freedom!
#8. You do not have to do much prep at all, just check for loose cords to not become tangled. When I bought my first robovac I didn't use it too often because I was unnecessarily moving furniture, rugs, floor lamps, trash cans, etc. Then one day, I left a door open and the robovac sneaked out of the room I'd religated it to. When I returned home, the little vac had done my whole house (single level @ 2000 sq feet) and it was GREAT. I realized that all I needed to do from then on was to let it go do its thing. Lesson learned.
My Eufys are my workhorses and I recommend this little gem of a vac if you are considering it. IMHO It will be a good investment. It has been for me, and my family (including cats and dogs).

Absolute worth the money
Size: 11S MAX
The RoboVac works well for me.
Very easy to use, not noisy, easy to empty dust collector out, picks up dust and crumbs etc. better than expected. It works on its own from room to room and transitions just fine from hard to soft surfaces. It even manages my higher pile carpet in some rooms. It‘s not heavy, so I use it upstairs and downstairs, just carry it up or down, plug in and start it. Easy!
It works best if you get all cords and anything that it could caught up in out of its way beforehand.
Sometimes it gets itself ‚ worked up’ and goes over one area several times which is weird.
My house ist quite big and if it works over one area over and over, it does not have enough battery life to do the entire ~16000 sqft. floor on one level with different rooms and changing surfaces (I expected this, no prob. for me).
The vacuum results are not as good as using a Miele canister vacuum ( my other vacuum) but good enough so the Miele only has to be pulled out from time to time for a deep vacuuming.
I would buy it again.
