Common Name: Java Fern Narrow Leaf, Microsorum Pteropus
Java Fern Narrow is like a cross between the regular Java Fern and Java Fern Needle Leaf. The leaves are thinner than our regular Java Fern at about 1/2" wide but not as thin as the Needle Leaf variant. This plant has been grown on a 3" x 2" coco fiber mat and can be placed directly into your aquarium or attached to wood or stone. Java fern is one of the most popular aquarium plants in the hobby due to its beauty and easy care. They can grow in low light conditions and a wide range of water parameters. The mini version is perfect for any tank size due to their smaller leaves. The plant can be attached directly onto driftwood, rocks or any aquarium decoration using thread or glue. Make sure to keep the rhizomes above your substrate or the plant can begin to rot. Propagation is easy and straightforward; simply cut or pull apart rhizomes to be replanted.

"This plant is fabulous! Excellent value. Much larger and thicker than I even expected. I have a substrate free tank so used thread to attach the mat to some dragon stone and it’s an instant perfectly arranged backdrop. Pest free and super healthy. Much better than other stores I have ordered for in the past. Thriving in my tank!"
"It came healthy and beautiful! Ful and ready for placement on a rock bridge in my shrimp tank."

"Gorgeous healthy plant and so much of it! Added instant interest to my betta! He loves checking it out! Thanks Buce!!"
"Ordered one pot and got 2 main portions but I split it into 3, leaves are narrow as expected and it looks great in a nano tank, good replacement for the regular java fern which can get a bit too big. Came in great condition and is showing new growth within 2 weeks."
"It came with so much I had extra to use on my other tank!"
"Great background plant for a nano tank, put it in my shrimp tank and it’s grown beautifully with no melt, arrived in great shape, got 2-3 portions in one pot."
