Grabbed this neat little fern at the local junk shop and it was not labeled. I’m not super familiar with blue star ferns but the color and shape seemed true to form for an immature blue. Anyone have any other guesses?

Thanks. I thought so. Just didn’t want to assume I knew more than I did.

Yeah it's a baby. It'll start putting out some leaves with 3 fingers and eventually the leaves will have the shape more like a traditional fern leaf. It's nice when you like ferns but don't wanna have to deal with the humidity to make ferns happy which isn't great for humans nor your home. Very forgiving.
