Care Tips: Microsorum pteropus Narrow Dwarf is a miniature version of the well-known Java Fern, with narrower and smaller leaves that make it perfect for compact aquariums or as a foreground plant. It thrives in low to medium lighting, requiring minimal care. As with other varieties, it should be attached to hard surfaces like driftwood or rocks, ensuring the rhizome is exposed to prevent rot. This slow-growing fern is highly adaptable to various water conditions and is a great choice for aquariums with low-tech setups. Occasional trimming will keep it healthy and maintain its attractive appearance.
