Crested Java (Windelov) Fern
✅These are already in their 💯% aquatic forms - will NOT melt when added to your tank
🌿Crested Java Fern, also known as Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov', is a beautiful and relatively easy-to-care-for aquarium plant prized for its unique, lacy appearance. Unlike the typical straight leaves of the common Java Fern, the Crested Java Fern boasts fronds with distinctive splits and lobes at the tips, creating a textured and elegant look. This epiphytic plant doesn't require planting in the substrate and thrives when attached to driftwood, rocks, or other aquarium decorations using cotton thread, fishing line, or cyanoacrylate glue (gel superglue) until it secures itself with its rhizomes (root-like structures). Crested Java Fern prefers moderate to low lighting and can tolerate a wide range of water parameters, making it a versatile choice for many freshwater aquariums.
Ease level: moderate
Size: 10-12 inches in height
Likes: low to moderate lighting
Does not require CO2 injection, but like most aquatic plants, it will thrive better with CO2
Placement: midground or background
PH: 6.0-8.0
Quantity: 1 plant
