MICROSORUM PTEROPUS 'WINDELØV' – Finely Branched Ornamental Fern for Freshwater Aquariums
Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv' is a patented variety of the classic Java fern, named after Holger Windeløv, founder of Tropica. This unique epiphytic plant features intricately branched leaf tips, making it one of the most ornamental and elegant plants available for aquascaping.
With a modest height of 15–20 cm, 'Windeløv' is ideal for midground placement in small and medium-sized aquariums. Like all epiphytes, it should be attached to wood, rocks, or decorative structures, ensuring the horizontal rhizome remains above the substrate to prevent rot.
This fern is highly resilient and undemanding—it thrives in low to moderate lighting, requires no CO₂ supplementation, and adapts to a wide range of water conditions. Its tough leaves are unpalatable to herbivorous fish, making it suitable for tanks with vegetarian species. It grows slowly but steadily and reproduces naturally through plantlets formed on mature leaves.
