Microsorum pteropus ‘Narrow leaf’

Microsorum pteropus narrow leaf aquarium plants are similar to other java ferns, but they are smaller and have much narrower leaves. Ideal for beginner aquarists, microsorum pteropus ‘narrow’ plants are easy to maintain and grow.

The plants can be recognized by their medium to dark green band-like leaves, with undulating margins. The underside of the leaves features dаrk brown, hіrѕutе scales. Compared to the width of the leaves, the midrib is quite thick. The roots are short, and there isn’t much distance between the leaves on the rhizome.

Description

About Microsorum Pteropus ‘Narrow’

Microsorum pteropus narrow leaf plants are highly versatile and can grow in areas of the tank that are inaccessible to other species, including wood and stone. One popular approach among aquascapers is to place the flora on a piece of driftwood in the mid-ground or background of the tank. The narrow form of Microsorum pteropus makes it easy to place among other java ferns to add texture.

Propagation

To propagate Microsorum pteropus narrow leaf plants, cut or break the rhizome apart. The underside and tips of the leaves, as well as the roots, grow daughter plants that can be cut and planted. If you are planting the daughter plants on a rock or driftwood, use a string to secure mother leaves to the plant.
