Product Description

Microsorium Pteropus ‘Windelov’ (Java Fern Windelov)

Add timeless greenery and refined texture to your aquarium with Microsorium Pteropus Windelov Java Fern, a classic and highly reliable live aquatic plant loved by beginners and experienced aquarists alike. This beautiful Java Fern variety is distinguished by its unique forked and lace-like leaf tips, giving it a lush, decorative appearance that stands out without overwhelming the aquascape.

Renowned for its hardiness and adaptability, Windelov Java Fern thrives in a wide range of freshwater conditions and requires very little care. It is an epiphytic plant, meaning it grows best when attached to driftwood, rocks, or aquarium décor rather than planted in substrate. This makes it ideal for low-tech tanks, bare-bottom aquariums, shrimp tanks, and natural aquascapes.

Whether you’re setting up a peaceful community tank or enhancing an established planted aquarium, this plant delivers beauty, function, and reliability all in one.
