Java Fern (Microsorum Pteropus)

Overview:
Java Fern, native to the island of Java in Indonesia and found in Thailand, Malaysia, and parts of China, is a rhizomatous plant that thrives without the need for substrate. It absorbs nutrients through its leaves and attaches to surfaces using its roots. It’s easy to propagate by splitting its horizontal rhizome, making it an excellent choice for aquarium setups.

Key Features:

  • Appearance: Grows to 15-30 cm tall and makes an ideal background plant for aquariums. Black spots beneath the leaves are sporangia, the plant’s reproductive organs.
  • Hardiness: A soft plant, perfect for beginners due to its low-maintenance nature.

Care Tips:

  • Temperature: Thrives in water temperatures ranging from 60°F to 83°F (15°C to 28°C).
  • Lighting: Prefers low light. No need for carbon dioxide or strong lighting for healthy growth.
  • pH Level: Ideal pH range is 6.0 to 7.5, requiring an alkaline medium for optimal growth.

Unique Facts:
Java Fern doesn’t require additional fertilizers to grow and is one of the few plants that thrive with plant-eating fish like goldfish. It’s perfect for low-maintenance aquarium setups.
