Common Name: Java Fern Narrow Leaf, Microsorum Pteropus Java Fern Narrow is like a cross between the regular Java Fern and Java Fern Needle Leaf. The leaves are thinner than our regular Java Fern at about 1/2" wide but not as thin as the Needle Leaf variant. This plant has been grown on a 3" x 2" coco fiber mat and can be placed directly into your aquarium or attached to wood or stone. Java fern is one of the most popular aquarium plants in the hobby due to its beauty and easy care. They can grow in low light conditions and a wide range of water parameters. The mini version is perfect for any tank size due to their smaller leaves. The plant can be attached directly onto driftwood, rocks or any aquarium decoration using thread or glue. Make sure to keep the rhizomes above your substrate or the plant can begin to rot. Propagation is easy and straightforward; simply cut or pull apart rhizomes to be replanted. Notes: Java Fern is an epiphytic aquarium plant. This means it can grow fine when attached to aquascaping hardscape like driftwood and stones. Java Fern will propagate through its leaves. Dots on the underside of its leaves are normal and not a cause for concern. Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant. CO2 injection will yield better growth. Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
