Tropica Microsorum pteropus Trident XL

Tropica Microsorum pteropus Trident XL (Low Tech)

Tropica Microsorum pteropus Trident XL or Java fern is from Asia. Tropica Microsorum pteropus Trident is a narrow-leaved, smaller form of Microsorum, which like other Microsorum is an easy and safe plant. ’Trident’ is both suitable for beginners, as well as the experienced scaper, and fits both smaller and larger aquariums.

The name ’Trident’ tells that the plant leafs are tripartite, while the leaves can vary from whole to multipartite. Suitable for planting on stones or tree roots. When planted on the bottom layer, avoid covering the horizontal stalk. New, small plants are often created on the leaf tips, and can carefully be pulled off and planted.

Grown in a 9cm x 9cm pot
