About the species
Microsorum pteropus and Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia rooted on a large piece of mangrove wood. Microsorum pteropus is a water fern from Asia, 15-30 cm high, which should be grown on a root or rock, secured with fishing line until established. If planted in the bottom, do not cover the rhizome as it will rot.
Easy to propagate by dividing the horizontal rhizome. A hardy plant that grows in all conditions. The black spots under the leaves are sporangia (reproductive organs), not signs of disease as many believe. Anubia's barteri was. caladiifolia comes from an Australian tissue propagation laboratory.
It is a very beautiful variety with heart-shaped leaves. The leaves live for several years, so Anubia barteri was. Caladiifolia can easily form large groups despite its slow growth. A group of Anubias barteri was. caladiifolia growing more than 50 cm wide in a few years is not unusual.
