MICROSORUM PTEROPUS 'NARROW' XL ON WOOD – Large Narrow Leaf Java Fern for Freshwater Aquariums
Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow' XL is a large, elegant variety of the classic Java fern, known for its narrow, arching leaves and low-maintenance care. Mounted on natural driftwood, this ready-to-use plant provides instant visual impact, making it ideal for aquascapes, low-tech tanks, and nature-style layouts.
Native to Asia, Microsorum 'Narrow' grows from a horizontal rhizome and reaches heights of 15–30 cm. It must not be buried in the substrate, and the attached wood allows for secure placement and natural growth in the aquarium. The plant thrives in medium to low light, requires no CO₂, and tolerates a wide range of water conditions.
Propagation occurs easily through rhizome division or by plantlets that form on mature leaves. Black spots under the leaves are natural sporangia and not signs of disease.
