Care Tips: Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow' is a narrow-leaved variant of the classic Java Fern, known for its graceful, thin foliage that waves beautifully in current. It’s an excellent choice for low-tech aquariums and should be tied to hardscape, not planted in substrate. This hardy plant is easy to care for and propagates through rhizome division or adventitious plantlets on older leaves. Trim damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth.
