New
Sale price£4.99

Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow', a variant of the classic Java Fern, is highly valued for its distinctive narrow, elongated leaves and compact growth habit. This aquatic plant is perfect for aquascapers who want to add variety and texture to their tank with a slow-growing, low-maintenance option that’s both hardy and adaptable to a range of aquarium environments.

Just like the standard Microsorum pteropus, the 'Narrow' variety thrives in low to moderate light and doesn’t require CO₂ supplementation, making it ideal for low-tech aquariums and beginners. It can be easily attached to rocks, driftwood, or other hardscapes and requires minimal care, growing well without being buried in the substrate. Its narrow leaves create a more delicate, fine-textured look compared to the broader leaves of regular Java Fern, adding a refined aesthetic to any aquascape.

Key Features:

  • Size: Grows up to 20-30 cm tall, with narrow, elongated leaves
  • Light Requirements: Low to moderate – thrives in a variety of lighting conditions
  • Growth Rate: Slow-growing, requiring minimal maintenance
  • Placement: Perfect for midground or background in aquascaping
  • Care Level: Easy to care for, beginner-friendly
  • Ideal For: Low-tech aquariums, aquascaping, cichlid tanks, and low-maintenance setups

Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow' is a fantastic choice for any aquascaper looking to introduce fine-textured greenery to their tank. Its narrow leaves and low-maintenance care requirements make it perfect for nano aquariums, low-tech setups, or tanks with low lighting. If you're seeking a unique twist on the classic Java Fern or need a plant that adds subtle elegance to your aquascape, this variety is an excellent addition
