Botanical Name: Microsorum pteropus

Common Name(s): Java Fern, Java Fern Mat, Windelov Fern (varies by type)

Description: Microsorum Pteropus Java Fern Mat – L features healthy, established Java Fern plants pre-attached to a convenient mat for easy placement in aquariums. This large-format mat creates an instant lush, natural look and works beautifully for covering hardscape, softening backgrounds, or creating a living carpet effect on vertical or horizontal surfaces. The long, narrow green leaves provide graceful movement in the water, adding depth and texture to aquascapes. Its ready-to-place design makes installation simple—just position and enjoy an immediate planted appearance.
- Care: Java Fern is a hardy, low-maintenance plant ideal for beginners and experienced aquarists alike. It thrives in low to moderate lighting and does not require CO₂ supplementation. The rhizomes should not be buried; instead, they should remain exposed and attached to the mat or hardscape to prevent rot. It prefers temperatures between 68–82°F and adapts well to a wide range of water conditions. Due to its slow to moderate growth rate, occasional trimming of older leaves is sufficient to maintain a clean, healthy look.

Will my plant look exactly like the photo?
Live plants naturally vary in height, branching, leaf count, color, and shape. Photos show the variety and typical presentation.
Can items arrive separately?
Yes. Plants can have different preparation times and packaging needs, so one order may receive more than one tracking number.
What should I do when it arrives?
Unpack promptly, inspect the plant, water only when needed, and let it acclimate before making major care changes.
