Descripción

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.

Notas de cuidado

This fern is very easy to maintain. Low to moderate light is sufficient; too much light may promote algae. CO2 is not required but can improve growth. Ideal temperature is between 20 and 28°C. pH can range from 6.0 to 7.5. Regular liquid fertilizer is beneficial. It suits nano tanks and large aquariums. Avoid burying it; simply attach it to a decoration. Compatible with all peaceful fish.
