VIEW POLICY

Microsorum Pteropus 'Needle' is a unique and attractive cultivar of the popular aquatic plant, Java Fern. As its name suggests, this plant is characterized by its long, narrow, and pointed leaves, which can grow up to 25 cm (10 inches) in length under optimal conditions. The plant is a slow-grower, but can reach a height of up to 20 cm (8 inches) with patience.

This low-maintenance plant is well-suited for both novice and experienced aquarists. It is adaptable to a wide range of water conditions, including slightly acidic to slightly alkaline pH levels and soft to moderately hard water. The plant can thrive in low to moderate light and does not require CO2 supplementation. However, regular fertilization is recommended to promote healthy growth and maintain its vibrant coloration.

One of the benefits of Microsorum Pteropus 'Needle' is that it is easy to care for and can be attached to driftwood or rocks in an aquarium using fishing line or thread until it establishes a strong hold. It is important not to bury the rhizome (horizontal stem) of the plant, as this can cause it to rot.

The 'Needle' variety of Java Fern is known for its striking and unique appearance, which can add a touch of texture and depth to any aquascape. The plant is suitable for midground or background placement in an aquarium and can be used to create a natural-looking aquatic environment.

In summary, Microsorum Pteropus 'Needle' is a beautiful and low-maintenance aquatic plant that can add a unique and eye-catching element to any aquarium. It is a great choice for aquarists who want to add a touch of texture and depth to their aquascape without too much effort.

      Perfect addition to my tank

      After seeing a aqua escaping bonsai tutorial on YouTube I knew I had to re-create it for my beta fish Khunsuk. The plants arrived quickly and in good condition. I glued them to pieces of lava rock. I will not hesitate to purchase again from the aquarium plant factory!
