🌿 Java Fern Petite (Microsorum pteropus 'Petite')
Small, Neat Green Leaves • The Compact Java Fern • Perfect for Nano Tanks and Hardscape Details
 
📋 Java Fern Petite brings everything people love about Java Fern in a smaller, neater package. Its short, tidy green leaves stay compact, making it perfect for nano tanks, shrimp tanks and the fine details of an aquascape where a full-sized fern would take over. Tie it onto small pieces of driftwood or lava stone, or tuck it among Anubias, Bucephalandra and mosses, for a lush, natural look in miniature.
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.
