Microsorum Windeløv Potted Aquarium Plant – A Unique Java Fern Variety for Stunning Aquascapes
 
Microsorum Windeløv, also known as Java Fern 'Windeløv', is a striking variation of the popular Microsorum pteropus, distinguished by its delicately branched, lace-like leaf tips. This low-maintenance, slow-growing plant is perfect for adding texture and depth to aquariums of all sizes. Its ability to thrive in low light and without CO2 makes it an excellent choice for beginner and low-tech aquariums. Unlike traditional stem plants, Java Fern Windeløv should be attached to rocks or driftwood, creating a natural, long-lasting aquascape. This potted version arrives well-rooted and ready to grow in your tank.
 
Prepping for Aquarium Placement:
 
Before placing potted aquarium plants into your tank, it's crucial to remove them from their pots and thoroughly rinse off the soil or substrate they may be potted in. Gently shake or rinse the roots to remove excess debris without damaging them. Trim any damaged or overly long roots to encourage healthy growth. If the plant is held together by a foam or mesh material, be sure to remove it carefully to prevent it from decomposing in the aquarium.
When planting in the main aquarium, consider the specific needs of each plant species regarding light, substrate, and water conditions. Secure the plants in the substrate or attach them to decorations using aquarium-safe methods like plant weights or tie them to rocks or driftwood. Monitor the plants closely after planting to ensure they adapt well to their new surroundings.
You can often split potted plants into 2 or 3 individual plants to spread around your aquascape.
