## Description

Microsorum pteropus - Java Fern​ - 3 Bunches - (size 8-13cm) - The Java fern is the most popular type of fern for aquatics, and is widespread in tropical Asia. This species varies widely and displays a number of different leaf shapes and sizes. Its undemanding nature makes it the perfect plant for beginners. It grows best when the rhizomes are anchored to rocks or driftwood. Low to medium lighting is completely sufficient, although it also grows well under strong lighting. Older leaves can sometimes produce plantlets that can easily be cut away and reattached in another place using a piece of thin fishing line. Due to the large size of the leaves, Java fern should be planted in the 2nd or 3rd plan.

Review: Quick delivery - Very good plant well packed and healthy 😁
Review: Lovely little plant - The fern arrived quickly and in good condition. After a few weeks, still looks lush and green in the fish tank. Im a total beginner so was a bit worried about placing it and maintaining it but so far so good. It was very easy to place in the tank as it doesn’t require any soil or substrate. Very pleased with the purchase .

Quick delivery, healthy plants, no snails. We have ordered several plants over the past couple of weeks from k2aqua and they have all arrived promptly, packaged well, and are doing great in our aquarium. All but the moss balls in our aquarium are from them. Definitely recommend.
