🌿 Java Fern Windelov (Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov')
Lace-Like Branched Leaf Tips • Hardy Rhizome Fern • A Textured Feature for Driftwood and Rock
 
📋 Java Fern Windelov is the "lace fern" of the aquarium world. Its green leaves split and branch at the tips into fine, frilly, lace-like fronds, giving the plant a soft, intricate texture that stands out beautifully against smooth driftwood and rock. Attached to hardscape in the midground or background, it creates a lush, natural, jungle-like look, and it pairs perfectly 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.
