Common Name: Java Fern Narrow Leaf, Microsorum Pteropus, Leptochilus 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 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. 

Notes:

  • Java Fern is an epiphytic aquarium plant. This means it can grow fine when attached to aquascaping hardscape like driftwood and stones.
  • Java Fern will propagate through its leaves. Dots on the underside of its leaves are normal and not a cause for concern.
  • Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
  • Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant above a quality substrate. For instructions on how to properly prep aquarium plants, click here.
  • Burying the rhizome will cause the plant to die
  • CO2 injection will yield better growth.
  • Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

Reviews

Good value

"Plantlets seem healthy and I haven't noticed much melt yet. One quibble: what looks like one big plant is actually several tiny plants in a bundle, Which is a great value if you know what to do with it, but if you just need one large plant is mildly aggravating. I wish businesses would be more transparent about this."

— Margaret K. (4/5)
