Care Tips: Microsorum Needle 'Taiwan' is a compact, attractive fern with narrow, needle-like leaves that make it an excellent choice for aquascaping. It thrives in low to medium lighting and does not require CO₂ supplementation, making it perfect for low-tech aquariums. This plant grows slowly, so it requires minimal maintenance, but occasional trimming will help maintain its shape. It is best placed in the foreground or midground, where its fine texture and unique leaf shape can create contrast with other plants. Microsorum Needle 'Taiwan' is typically attached to rocks or driftwood, as it does not root into the substrate. It is a hardy plant, well-suited to a variety of water conditions, but prefers a nutrient-rich environment to flourish.
