Microsorum Pteropus Flaming

Microsorum Pteropus AKA Java fern is a staple aquascaping plant! Java Fern Flaming, as its name implies, features vibrant green color with crinkled leaves that resemble a flame. Equally hardy as other varieties, this Java Fern is a little smaller, making it suitable for nearly all tank sizes. Its care is comparable to other rhizome plants like Anubias, Bucephalandra or Cryptocoryne, making it a top pick for beginners as well. Recently reclassified as Leptochilus pteropus, this plant is still widely known as Microsorum pteropus.

If you're looking to add more texture and character to your planted aquarium, consider Java Fern Flaming. It does the job while being easy to care for, grow and share with fellow hobbyists when mature. To grow it, attach it to driftwood or any porous surface. CO2 isn't required, but will go a long way in improving overall health and form.
