Microsorum Pteropus var. Soft Leaf

Microsorum pteropus, commonly known as Java Fern, is a popular aquatic plant in the aquarium hobby due to its ease of care. Java Fern 'Soft Leaf' is a distinctive variety, recognized for its thinner, more delicate leaves. Like other Java Fern variants, it grows well in low to moderate light and adapts well to a wide range of water parameters, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists.

Moderate in size, Java Fern plants fit seamlessly into both nano and larger planted aquariums. For a well-balanced aquascape, we recommend pairing it with classic aquatic plants such as Anubias and Bucephalandra! This aquatic fern can be easily attached to driftwood, aquascaping rocks, or other aquarium decorations using thread or glue. To prevent rot, make sure the rhizome remains above the substrate! Java Fern are also great in open enclosures, terrariums, paludariums and more. Propagation is simple and can be done by separating the rhizomes and reattaching them to a new surface for continued growth.
