Microsorum Windelov – on Driftwood

Microsorum pteropus ‘Windelov’, commonly known as Java Fern Windelov, is a distinctive variety of Java Fern characterized by its finely branched, lace-like leaf tips. Pre-attached to artificial driftwood, this plant is ready to place directly into your aquarium, offering instant structure and visual interest with minimal effort.

Exceptionally hardy and easy to care for, Microsorum Windelov thrives in low to medium light and does not require CO₂. Its unique leaf shape adds texture and movement, making it a popular choice for community tanks, shrimp aquariums, and nature-style aquascapes.

As a rhizome plant, it absorbs nutrients from the water column and should never be buried in substrate. Over time, the roots will naturally secure themselves more firmly to the driftwood, creating a mature, established look.
