🌿 Java Fern Coral (Microsorum pteropus 'Coral')
Finely Branched, Coral-Like Leaf Tips • Compact, Textured Java Fern • A Detailed Feature for Driftwood and Rock
 
📋 Java Fern Coral is a Java Fern with a sculpted twist. Its green leaves split and branch at the ends into fine, forked tips that look just like underwater coral, giving the plant an intricate, textured character up close. It stays fairly compact, making it a lovely detail plant for the foreground and midground, and it shines on driftwood and rock in nature layouts, shrimp tanks and community aquariums.
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.
