Microsorum Driftwood Creation - Large (Java Fern)

Large 'Indo' Microsorum Driftwood Creation - Java Fern Driftwood Creation

A beautiful large clump of 'Indo' Java Fern growing on a large piece of driftwood. 

Scientific Name: Microsorum pteropus 'Indo'

Microsorum has lush, green, translucent leaves growing from a creeping rhizome. In its native environment in Indonesia, Microsorum naturally grows on tree bases, exposed roots and rocks along river banks and streams edges. In nature it grows both fully and partially submerged and it can even grow out of water in high-humidity, tropical rainforests. 

These plants are foliar feeders and may benefit from ENRICH plant fertiliser when you perform your regular water changes. They enjoy some water movement so can be located near a powerhead or filter. 

These beautiful aquatic ferns will sometimes grow spores that look like evenly spaced brown dots on the undersides of the leaves. Very lucky people may even find young plantlets growing on the leaf edges.
