Elevate your aquascape with the elegant, flowing texture of the Narrow Leaf Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus "Narrow Leaf"). A beautiful variation of the classic Java Fern, this extremely hardy plant features slender, lance-shaped leaves that are significantly narrower and more graceful than the standard variety. It is famously easy to care for, thriving in almost any lighting or water condition without the need for high-tech setups or added CO2. Because it grows from a thick rhizome, this versatile epiphyte should be attached directly to rocks or driftwood, making it an excellent choice for adding natural detail and depth to your midground or background. Please note: Product images are AI-generated and will vary from the actual plant received.
Key benefits:
Graceful Narrow Texture: Slender, ribbon-like leaves sway beautifully in the water current, offering a lighter and more detailed look than standard Java Ferns.
Virtually Indestructible: One of the most resilient aquarium plants available, easily surviving low light, low nutrients, and varying water parameters.
Herbivore Resistant: Features tough, leathery leaves that are highly unpalatable to plant-eating fish like goldfish, cichlids, and silver dollars.
Specifications:
Form: Loose Bare-Root
Growth Rate: Slow
Placement: Midground to Background
Light Requirement: Low to Medium
Co2 Requirement: Low (Not required)
Water type: Freshwater
Suggested use: Do not bury the green horizontal stem (the rhizome) in the substrate, as this will cause the plant to rot and die. Instead, attach the rhizome directly to driftwood, rocks, or aquarium decorations using thread, fishing line, or a tiny dab of cyanoacrylate-based super glue gel. Alternatively, you can gently wedge the roots between cracks in your hardscape. Over time, the roots will naturally grip onto the surfaces.
What’s included: 1 x Loose bare-root plant of Microsorum Pteropus "Narrow Leaf"
