Care Tips: Microsorum pteropus sp. Soft Leaf is a variant of the popular Java Fern known for its more delicate and softer leaves. It thrives in low to medium lighting conditions, making it perfect for aquariums with less intense light. As with other varieties of Java Fern, it should be attached to hard surfaces like driftwood or rocks, with the rhizome left exposed to prevent rotting. It requires minimal care, growing slowly and requiring little to no fertilization or COâ‚‚ supplementation. Regular trimming helps maintain a healthy appearance, and it's very forgiving of various water conditions.
