Microsorum pteropus ‘Windeløv’:

also known as Windeløv Java Fern, is a patented variety of the classic Java Fern, named after Tropica’s founder Holger Windeløv. This particular variety is admired for its unique and ornamental appearance in aquariums. Here are some key aspects of its care and characteristics:

  • Appearance: It features finely branched leaf tips, which resemble deer antlers, adding a distinctive texture to the plant.
  • Size: The plant typically becomes 15-20 cm tall and wide, making it suitable for midground or background placement in an aquarium.
  • Growth Rate: It has a slow growth rate, which makes it manageable and less demanding in terms of maintenance.
  • Light Demand: ‘Windeløv’ has a low light demand, but it can benefit from moderate to bright lighting conditions.
  • CO2: It requires low CO2, although like many aquatic plants, it will grow more vigorously with added CO2 and regular liquid fertilizer dosing.
  • Planting: Best results are obtained by attaching it to a stone or driftwood. If planted in the substrate, ensure the horizontal rhizome is not covered.
  • Compatibility: This plant is not typically eaten by herbivorous fish, making it a good choice for diverse aquarium setups.

The Windeløv Java Fern is a hardy and easy plant that is suitable for both beginners and more experienced aquarists. Its unique appearance can enhance the aesthetic of any aquarium, and its easy care makes it a popular choice for those looking to add a touch of nature to their aquatic environment. Remember to handle it gently during maintenance, as the leaves can be delicate.
