Narrow Java Fern is a variant of the classic Java Fern with long, narrow, and slender leaves. It is perfect for aquariums where you want to create a more delicate or intricate look while maintaining the hardiness and ease of care that Java Fern is known for.

  • Level of Difficulty: Easy
  • Appearance: The Narrow Java Fern has thinner, more elongated leaves than the standard Java Fern. The leaves can grow up to 6–12 inches tall, with a more slender, graceful appearance.
  • Behavior: Like the regular Java Fern, the Narrow Java Fern is a slow-growing plant that does well in low to moderate light. It can be placed on rocks, driftwood, or other surfaces, where it attaches via its roots.
  • Husbandry: Prefers water temperatures between 68–82°F and a pH range of 6.0–7.5. This plant is adaptable to a wide range of water conditions and does well in aquariums with moderate to low lighting. It benefits from occasional dosing of aquarium fertilizers to encourage healthy growth.
  • Diet: Low-maintenance; a balanced liquid fertilizer or nutrient-rich substrate will help support growth, but this plant does well with minimal care.
  • Common Name: Narrow Java Fern
  • Scientific Name: Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow'
