MICROSORUM PTEROPUS 'TRIDENT' – Narrow-Leaved Java Fern for Freshwater Aquariums
Microsorum pteropus 'Trident' is a compact and ornamental variety of the classic Java fern, distinguished by its finely lobed, narrow leaves resembling a trident. This elegant aquatic fern is an excellent choice for both beginner and expert aquascapers seeking a more delicate and refined look compared to standard Microsorum species.
It grows slowly and compactly, making it perfect for precise layouts and natural-style aquascapes. As an epiphyte, it should be attached to driftwood or rocks, with its rhizome left exposed to avoid rot. 'Trident' thrives in medium to low light and does not require CO₂ supplementation, making it ideal for low-tech setups and beginners.
A unique feature of this variety is the frequent appearance of small plantlets on the tips of mature leaves. These can be gently removed and replanted, enabling easy propagation and gradual expansion of the plant group within the tank.
