Care Tips: Microsorum pteropus sp (L) is a large variant of the popular Java Fern, making it ideal for larger tanks or as a bold centerpiece in midground to background areas. Like other Java Ferns, it should be attached to rocks or wood—planting it in the substrate may cause the rhizome to rot. It’s hardy, low-maintenance, and thrives even in low-tech setups. Trim old leaves as needed and avoid burying the rhizome.
