Beschreibung

Microsorum pteropus 'Trident' is distinguished by its light to dark green leaves, 20-30 cm long, divided into three pointed segments. This particular shape brings a unique texture to the aquarium. Like all Java ferns, it is an epiphyte that must be attached to wood or stones. Growth is slow but steady. It tolerates parameter fluctuations well. Plantlets often appear on the edges of old leaves.
