Microsorum pteropus 'Trident'

Product description

About the species

Microsorum pteropus or Java fern comes from Asia. Microsorum pteropus 'Trident' is a narrow-leaved, smaller form of Microsorum, which like other Microsorum is a simple and safe plant. 'Trident' is suitable for beginners as well as the experienced scaper, and fits both smaller and larger aquariums.

The name 'Trident' tells us that the plant's leaves are three-parted, while the leaves can vary from entire to multi-parted. Suitable for planting on rocks or tree roots. When planted on the bottom layer, avoid covering the horizontal stem.

New, small plants are often created at the leaf tips, and can be carefully pulled off and planted.
