Care Tips: Microsorum pteropus 'Bent Wing' is a variant of Java Fern that prefers low to medium lighting. It is a hardy plant that doesn’t require CO₂ supplementation, making it ideal for low-tech aquariums. Attach it to rocks or driftwood rather than burying it in the substrate, as its rhizomes will rot if covered. This slow to medium-growing plant will appreciate regular water changes and occasional fertilization. Its unique bent-wing-shaped leaves provide a distinct texture and are great for adding contrast and structure to midground or background aquascaping areas.
