Java Fern (Regular)

Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus) is a nearly indestructible hobby staple, with tough, leathery green fronds on a creeping rhizome. Attach the rhizome to wood or rock rather than burying it, and it thrives in low light with no CO2. Its hard leaves are ignored by most plant-eating fish, making it perfect for cichlid and goldfish tanks.

Care level: Easy · Placement: Epiphyte (on wood/rock) · Lighting: Low-Medium · CO2: Not required · Growth rate: Slow · Propagation: rhizome division / plantlets
