Microsorum pteropus, commonly known as Java Fern, is a popular aquatic plant admired for its unique leaf structure and versatility in aquascaping. The plant features dark green, br oad, and leathery leaves that can thrive in a variety of conditions, making it a favorite among aquarists. Java Fern is ideal for midground to background placement, where it can grow attached to rocks or driftwood, adding a natural touch to the aquarium. This plant is incredibly easy to care for, making it perfect for beginners. It can grow without CO2 supplementation, although providing it will promote healthier growth. With low to moderate lighting, Microsorum pteropus flourishes, contributing to a vibrant and lush aquatic environment. Crustacean Safety Notice: Aquatic plants may have been exposed to pesticide treatments that can be harmful to shrimp, snails and other crustaceans. If your aquarium contains crustaceans, we recommend soaking plants for 24 hours before introduction in a solution of 1 tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda per 1 litre of water, ideally under lighting.
