🌿 Java Fern Narrow (Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow')
Long, Slender Ribbon-Like Leaves • Graceful, Flowing Java Fern • A Hardy Feature for Driftwood and Rock
 
📋 Java Fern Narrow is an elegant form of Java Fern with long, slender, ribbon-like green leaves that flow gracefully in the current. Its fine, airy shape brings movement and a softer texture to hardscape than the classic broad-leaved fern, and it's ideal for the midground and background of nature layouts, community tanks and Asian-style aquascapes. 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.
