Java Fern 'Crested' (Microsorum pteropus) (Live Plant)

Java Fern 'Crested' (Microsorum pteropus) is a distinctive and hardy aquarium plant admired for its textured, crested foliage and natural fern-like appearance. Its unusual leaf shape adds depth and visual interest to aquascapes, making it an excellent choice for attaching to driftwood, rocks, and other hardscape.

It is a slow-growing rhizome plant that performs well under low to moderate lighting and does not require CO₂ supplementation. Attach the plant to rocks or driftwood and keep the rhizome exposed rather than burying it in substrate, as a buried rhizome can rot. Like other Java Fern varieties, it can naturally produce new plantlets from mature leaves.

Plant size, leaf shape, density, colour, and appearance may vary.
