Java Fern Narrow Leaf, scientifically known as Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow', is a popular aquarium plant among hobbyists. It is native to Southeast Asia and can grow up to 10-20 cm in height. This plant features thin, elongated leaves that grow in a narrow pattern, unlike the broader leaves of the regular Java Fern.
Java Fern Narrow Leaf is an undemanding plant that can be grown in various water conditions and lighting levels. It can be attached to hardscape materials such as driftwood and rocks or planted in substrate. The plant prefers low to medium light and does not require CO2 supplementation to thrive. It propagates through rhizome division, and the new plants can be easily separated and replanted.
Java Fern Narrow Leaf adds a unique texture to the aquarium with its slender leaves and creates a natural-looking environment for fish and other aquatic creatures. Its hardiness and ease of care make it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
