Produtor
Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv' is one of the most popular varieties of the classic Java Fern. Developed by Danish aquarist Holger Windeløv, it stands out for its finely branched fronds with forked tips, forming a delicate and lush silhouette. It is a slow-growing epiphyte, extremely hardy and ideal for low-light aquariums, aquascaping and paludariums.
Being a rhizome plant, it must not be buried in the substrate: it should be attached to wood, rocks or decoration, where it anchors itself naturally. It is also an excellent choice for aquariums with herbivorous fish, as it is not attractive to most of them.
