MICROSORUM PTEROPUS 'NARROW' XL – Extra-Large Narrow Leaf Java Fern for Freshwater Aquariums
Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow' XL is the extra-large version of the narrow-leaf Java fern, prized for its slim, arching foliage and natural elegance. This mature, fully developed plant offers immediate visual impact and is perfect for creating natural aquascapes, shaded zones, or structured backgrounds in medium to large tanks.
As an epiphytic plant, 'Narrow' grows from a horizontal rhizome and should be tied to driftwood or rocks rather than planted in substrate. The XL format ensures a robust, ready-to-use plant for those seeking immediate results. It thrives under moderate to low light, requires no CO₂, and adapts well to various water parameters, making it ideal for low-tech setups and beginner aquarists alike.
The plant reproduces easily through rhizome division, and the occasional black spots under the leaves are harmless sporangia. With strong lighting, its green coloration becomes even more vibrant.
