Care Tips: Microsorum pteropus Bent Wing, a variation of the popular Java Fern, has distinctive bent or curled leaves, giving it a unique appearance. It thrives in low to medium light conditions and is an excellent choice for low-tech aquariums. Like most ferns, it prefers to be attached to rocks or driftwood rather than planted in substrate. It grows slowly, so it doesn’t require much maintenance, though regular trimming of dead or old leaves may be necessary. It works well in both midground and background positions and is perfect for aquascapes with a natural or wild look.
