Microsorum Pteropus Minor – Live Aquarium Plant

Microsorum pteropus 'Minor' — a compact form of Java Fern with shorter, narrower leaves. It stays small, so it suits nano tanks, shrimp aquariums and the midground of an aquascape. Price per plant.

Care

Tie or glue the rhizome to driftwood or stone; the roots grip within a few weeks. Java Fern grows slowly, is rarely eaten by fish and gives shrimp shelter and a surface for biofilm. Remove old leaves at the base; new plantlets form on the leaf tips and can be re-attached.
