Java Fern Microsorum Pteropus

Description

Java Fern is a staple in the planted tank world. Its hardy, leathery leaves can handle a variety of water conditions and lighting setups. Best of all, it doesn’t need to be planted—just attach it to driftwood or rock and let it do its thing. It’s an excellent choice for hobbyists who want greenery without the fuss.

Care and Planting Directions
Attach to hardscape using thread or aquarium-safe glue. Avoid burying the rhizome, as it may rot. Grows slowly but steadily with little intervention.
