Microsorum Pteropus 'Needle' is a unique and attractive cultivar of the popular aquatic plant, Java Fern. As its name suggests, this plant is characterized by its long, narrow, and pointed leaves, which can grow up to 25 cm (10 inches) in length under optimal conditions. The plant is a slow-grower, but can reach a height of up to 20 cm (8 inches) with patience.
This low-maintenance plant is well-suited for both novice and experienced aquarists. It is adaptable to a wide range of water conditions, including slightly acidic to slightly alkaline pH levels and soft to moderately hard water. The plant can thrive in low to moderate light and does not require CO2 supplementation. However, regular fertilization is recommended to promote healthy growth and maintain its vibrant coloration.
One of the benefits of Microsorum Pteropus 'Needle' is that it is easy to care for and can be attached to driftwood or rocks in an aquarium using fishing line or thread until it establishes a strong hold. It is important not to bury the rhizome (horizontal stem) of the plant, as this can cause it to rot.
The 'Needle' variety of Java Fern is known for its striking and unique appearance, which can add a touch of texture and depth to any aquascape. The plant is suitable for midground or background placement in an aquarium and can be used to create a natural-looking aquatic environment.
In summary, Microsorum Pteropus 'Needle' is a beautiful and low-maintenance aquatic plant that can add a unique and eye-catching element to any aquarium. It is a great choice for aquarists who want to add a touch of texture and depth to their aquascape without too much effort.

Please take clear photos of the damaged product and send it to us within 24 hours. Live Arrival Guarantee will be void after 24 hours of delivery. All replacements are considered final and we will not replace the replacement.
Please be aware that our Live Arrival Guarantee is subject to certain conditions. Specifically, the guarantee will not be applicable in cases where the package is marked as 'invalid address', 'undeliverable' or is 'returned to sender.' This includes situations such as a vacant delivery address, a missing apartment number, or any other issues that prevent the postal service from delivering your package.
It is crucial to provide accurate and complete shipping information to ensure the successful delivery of your order and the applicability of the Live Arrival Guarantee.
Please keep in mind that Live Arrival Guarantee only guarantees that live stocks will be alive upon arrival. We cannot guarantee that you will continue to have success with them. Many factors, including the aquarium environment, water quality, nutrient, temperature, lighting, filter, and CO2 system, can contribute to the failure to grow live plants and live animals.
Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.
However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.
Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.
