Java fern (Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow Leaf Red')- Tissue Culture

Tissue culture Narrow Leaf Red Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow Leaf Red') is a rare, slow-growing epiphyte featuring delicate, slender leaves with striking reddish-bronze hues. Grown in-vitro, the plant is 100% free of snails, pests, and algae. It thrives in low-to-medium light setups when attached to hardscape.

Care Requirements

• Placement: Midground or background.
• Lighting: Low to moderate.
• CO2 & Fertilizer: CO2 and extra nutrients are optional, but enhance coloration and growth rate.
• Temperature: 15–28°C
• Water Hardness: 3–25° dGH

How to Plant

1. Rinse: Gently wash away the nutrient gel from the plant's roots under lukewarm tap water.
2. Divide: Separate the clump into smaller portions for better spread and quicker adaptation.
3. Attach: Do not bury the root-like structure (the rhizome) in the substrate, as this causes it to rot. Instead, tie or glue it to driftwood or rocks using fishing line, cotton thread, or plant-safe cyanoacrylate glue
