🌿 Java Fern Bent Wing (Microsorum pteropus 'Bent Wing')
Curved, Twisted Leaves • Wind-Swept Look • A Hardy Feature for Driftwood and Rock
 
📋 Java Fern Bent Wing is a Java Fern with real personality. Its leaves curve, bend and twist as they grow, giving the whole plant a flowing, wind-swept look that brings movement and character to driftwood and rock. Attached to hardscape in the midground or background, it creates a natural, jungle-like scene, and it pairs beautifully with Anubias, Bucephalandra and mosses.
It has all the toughness Java Fern is famous for. It thrives in low to moderate light without CO2, grows at a slow, steady pace, and most fish leave its leaves alone. Simply attach it to wood or stone, and it settles in to become a long-lived, low-maintenance feature.
It's a freshwater plant that also tolerates slightly brackish water, and it's at home in paludariums too.
