Microsorum pteropus – Trident Java Fern

Details

This variant of the ever-popular Java Fern has very distinctive trident formations on its leaves!

Trident Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus var. Trident) is a fascinating variant of the classic Java Fern. This variant is distinctive for its narrow leaves that form trident-like formations instead of the straighter, broader leaves of the standard Java Fern.

It requires only low to moderate lighting and can thrive in a variety of water parameters, including lightly brackish conditions. With quality care, the Trident Java Fern will grow at a moderate rate.

In addition to its attractive appearance, Trident Java Fern provides a valuable refuge for aquarium animals, especially dwarf shrimp, nano fish, and fry. Trident Java Fern can easily flourish and grow to become a major centerpiece of the planted aquarium!
