Introduction:
Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov' is a unique cultivar of the classic Java Fern, distinguished by its intricately branched, frilly leaf tips that give it a decorative and refined appearance. Native to Southeast Asia, this epiphytic plant is both hardy and visually striking, making it a favorite among aquascapers of all levels. Its slow growth and low maintenance needs are complemented by its ability to thrive in a range of water conditions. Provided in tissue culture form, this Ready to Grow Windelov Java Fern is algae-, pest-, and snail-free—perfect for creating a pristine aquascape.
Care Requirements:
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 20–28 °C
pH Range: 5.5–7.5
Water Hardness: 3–12 dGH
Nutrient Requirements:
Grows well without CO₂ injection, though it benefits from liquid fertilization, especially when attached to hardscape. Absorbs nutrients primarily through its leaves rather than roots.
Tank Setup:
Best attached to wood, stone, or other hardscape using thread or glue—do not bury the rhizome in substrate, as this can cause rot. Thrives in low to moderate lighting and tolerates a wide range of conditions. Its decorative fronds make it ideal for midground use or as a focal accent in smaller tanks.
Care Tips:
Rinse thoroughly to remove all tissue culture gel before planting. Trim older leaves as needed to maintain shape. Avoid overcrowding to allow the intricate leaf structure to be fully appreciated. A great choice for low-tech tanks and shaded areas.
With its elegant, fringed foliage and undemanding nature, Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov' brings texture, structure, and enduring beauty to freshwater aquariums. Its tissue culture form offers a safe, clean start—ideal for those seeking a distinctive yet low-maintenance plant.
