MICROSORUM PTEROPUS 'WINDELOV' – Decorative Fringed Java Fern for Freshwater Aquariums
Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv' is a patented variety of the classic Java fern, named after Holger Windeløv, founder of Tropica. This epiphytic aquatic plant is renowned for its beautifully fringed leaf tips, making it one of the most visually appealing Microsorum cultivars for aquascaping.
Growing slowly to a height of 15–20 cm, 'Windeløv' maintains a compact form, ideal for midground placement or as a decorative focal point in small to medium tanks. It should always be mounted on driftwood, rocks, or hardscape, with the rhizome left exposed to avoid rot.
Exceptionally hardy and easy to care for, this plant thrives in low to moderate light, requires no CO₂, and adapts to various water parameters. It’s suitable for beginners and experienced aquarists alike, and its tough leaf texture makes it unpalatable to herbivorous fish.
