Tropica Microsorum pteropus Windelov (Low Tech)
Tropica Microsorum pteropus Windelov is a patented variety of Microsorum pteropus, named after Tropica’s founder Holger Windeløv. Its finely branched leaf tips make it one of the most beautiful aquarium plants. The Microsorum variety becomes 15-20 cm tall and wide.
A hardy and easy plant for both beginners and the more experienced. Best results are obtained by planting it on a stone or tree root. If planted in the bottom the horizontal rhizome must not be covered. This plant is not eaten by herbivorous fish.

Not sure why. Mine turned brown after a month.

Very happy with product! Easy to use for a beginner and very large portion, perfect for filling up an empty tank.

The plant itself was very healthy, but I found it a bit difficult to incorporate it into a scape, since it is quite large and very bright green. It didn’t look at all like I had envisioned it when I placed it in the scape that I had bought it for and it didn’t quite fit into any of my other scapes, so I just ended up leaving it a shrimp tank.
