Java Fern Windelov
Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov'
Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov' is a slow-growing epiphytic fern. Its dark green leaves are 10-20 cm long and split at the tips into several lobes. This unique morphology gives it a bushy and decorative appearance. It should not be planted in the substrate but attached to driftwood or rock. It tolerates a wide range of water conditions. Reproduction occurs by rhizome division or by the formation of plantlets on old leaves.
