Microsorum Pteropus (Needle Leaf Java Fern)
Description
Description
Needle Leaf Java Fern is a narrow-leaved variant of the classic Microsorum pteropus, loved for its fine, delicate appearance and undemanding care. With slender, pointed leaves that grow in tufts, it brings a graceful, flowing texture to aquascapes—perfect for creating contrast against broader-leaved plants or driftwood features.
This epiphytic plant grows best when attached to hardscape (wood, stone, or mesh), making it easy to place and reposition without disturbing substrate.
Key Features:
- Narrow, elegant leaf shape for refined aquascaping
- Hardy and undemanding—great for beginners and advanced hobbyists
- Grows best attached to hardscape (wood, rock, mesh)
- Does not require CO₂ or high light
- Perfect for low-tech, shrimp, and nature-style tanks
Care Instructions:
- Lighting: Low to moderate light; high light may increase algae on leaves
- CO₂: Not required
- Placement: Attach rhizome to hardscape; do not bury in substrate
- Trimming: Remove older or damaged leaves at the base; plantlets can form on older leaves and be propagated
- Water Parameters: 20–28°C, pH 6.0–7.5; highly adaptable
Sold Submerged Only:
This plant is grown and shipped in its submerged form—fully adapted and ready for placement in your aquascape.
