Introduce an exquisite, detailed texture to your aquascape with the Windelov Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus "Windelov"), also widely known as the Lacey Java Fern or 'Mini' Java Fern. Named after the founder of Tropica, Holger Windeløv, this patented cultivar is famous for its unique, finely branched leaf tips that resemble miniature green crests or lace. Naturally compact and incredibly hardy, this slow-growing epiphyte is virtually indestructible. It thrives in low-light environments and does not require CO2, making it an exceptional choice for adding intricate, bushy detail to hardscapes in nano tanks and larger layouts alike. Please note: Product images are AI-generated and will vary from the actual plant received.
Key benefits:
Intricate Lacey Leaf Tips: Features highly unique, finely split frond tips that create a gorgeous, bushy, and textured "crested" appearance.
Ultra-Hardy & Low Maintenance: Extremely resilient; it tolerates low-light setups and wide-ranging water conditions, making it perfect for beginners.
Fish and Cichlid Safe: Tough, leathery leaves make it highly resistant to herbivorous fish that typically eat or damage soft-leaved plants.
Specifications:
Form: Loose Bare-Root
Growth Rate: Slow
Placement: Midground (Attach to Hardscape)
Light Requirement: Low to Medium
Co2 Requirement: Low (Not required)
Water type: Freshwater
Suggested use: Never bury the thick horizontal green stem (the rhizome) in your substrate, as this will cause the plant to rot and die. Instead, tie or glue the rhizome directly to driftwood, rocks, or hardscape elements using thread, fishing line, or a small dab of aquarium-safe super glue gel. You can also gently wedge the roots into cracks in your rocks where they will naturally attach over time.
What’s included: 1 x Loose bare-root plant of Microsorum Pteropus "Windelov"
