Light
Can withstand all ranges of indirect light- just don't place it in your brightest window, where it will get sunburnt!
Water
Allow the top third of the soil to dry out in between watering; this plant is not very resistant to drought, so be sure to keep its hydration regular!
Humidity
Thrives in higher humidity, so will appreciate a humidity tray or more frequent misting.
Soil
Use a well-draining but moisture retentive mix to satisfy your Blue Star's thirst and make sure it doesn't drown.
Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.
Temperature
Average household temperatures of about 18-26°C are fine- make sure it doesn't drop below 12°C in winter.
Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!
Sprouts Top Tips
When watering, make sure to hydrate the visible 'hairy' parts of the root, which will encourage growth.
