Care Tips: Microsorum pteropus 'Broad Leaf' is a variation of the classic Java Fern, featuring wider, lush green leaves that give a fuller appearance. It thrives in low-tech tanks and is ideal for shaded spots. Avoid burying the rhizome in substrate to prevent rot—tie it to hardscape instead. It's tolerant of a wide range of conditions and propagates easily from plantlets formed on mature leaves. Prune older or damaged leaves to maintain its shape and health.
