Microsorum Pteropus

Java fern

One of the most popular aquarium plants sold. This plant is also very strong and can withstand both hard and soft water with little or a lot of light and is therefore not eaten by fish. This aquarium plant prefers to attach itself to objects such as wood and stones. It is best not to be placed in substrate because the roots can rot there, which can cause it to die.

The Java fern propagates by growing small, young shoots on the leaves.
