Java Fern Microsorum Indo - Medium Driftwood

Java Fern Microsorum Indo (Microsorum pteropus 'Indo') is a robust and visually striking variant of the classic Java Fern, native to the tropical rivers and streams of Southeast Asia. Its broad, deeply textured, dark-green fronds with a distinctive rippled surface give it a more dramatic, lush appearance than the standard variety. On a medium driftwood, this plant becomes a substantial, eye-catching midground feature — full, rich, and ready to anchor any aquascape. This piece arrives pre-attached to a medium natural driftwood, perfect for mid-sized to larger aquariums.

Propagation: New plantlets develop naturally along the leaf margins and rhizome. Once plantlets have 3–4 leaves, separate and attach to new hardscape with aquarium-safe super glue or fishing line. Never bury the rhizome in substrate as it will rot.
