Description

Java Fern (Microsorium Pteropus)

Microsorium Pteropus, commonly known as Java Fern, originates from Southeast Asia. Java Fern is a very popular plant and not surprisingly so because it is very versatile and easy to keep. The plant produces long, dark green leaves. The roots of Java Fern should not be buried in the substrate. They will attach themselves to hard surfaces such as rocks and wood. This plant will do well even in tanks with aggressive fish because its leaves are not palatable to most of them. The plant can grow up to 10 inches long and can be used in mid to background.

Care Guide For Java Fern

Java Fern will easily adapt to most aquarium conditions and does not require high lighting. It is a rather slow-growing plant, and older leaves, when they become too crinkled and blackened, should be trimmed or removed. However, black spots on the underside of leaves do not indicate damage. Rather, they are spores from which new plants will grow.

  • Minimum Lighting Required: Low
  • Temperature Range: 64-86°F
  • Tank Placement: Midground

In aquariums, the plant should be anchored to rocks, wood, or other hard surfaces such as decorations or 3-D backgrounds. Use cotton thread or scaper's glue to attach the plant, or simply tuck into crevices.

Java Fern is also available potted, on a mat, and in other varieties, including, Narrow Leaf, Trident and Windelov Lacy.

    Plant came in great shape and was very large. Big enough to put in background and hide my heater and drop tube. Couldn't be more pleased.

    Just like I visioned!
    Posted by Blaine on 22 Oct 2020

    When I scaped my tank in my head I saw a large leafy plant holding down the background and when my new Java ferns arrived I was pleasantly surprised that they fit that vision to a T. New plants look great and are doing well. Love it!

    Good sized plant
    Posted by Vanessa on 12 Oct 2020

    Java ferns were a little brown when I received them, but they seem to be bouncing back now. I am happy with the size of the plant and add a really great look in my betta aquarium.

    Posted by Rebecca Swartz on 6 Oct 2020

    Both Java Fern were in excellent condition, and were packaged carefully, with no leaves caught in the fold. I'm very happy with the plants I'm receiving from Modern Aquarium!
