Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and the standard Microsorum pteropus?
What's the difference between this and the standard Microsorum pteropus?
The 'Narrow' form has narrower leaves that grow at a less acute angle from the stem, giving it a more upright, compact shape than the standard plant.
How big does it get?
How big does it get?
Leaves typically reach 10-20 cm, with the rhizome extending to 10-15 cm or more as the plant matures.
Do I need to plant it in substrate?
Do I need to plant it in substrate?
No. It attaches readily to roots and stones instead, so it's best secured to a piece of wood or rock rather than buried in substrate.
What's the difference between the Potted and 1-2-Grow! options?
What's the difference between the Potted and 1-2-Grow! options?
The Potted option is a pack of five 5 cm pots. The source doesn't specify packaging details for the 1-2-Grow! option, so choose Potted if you want a ready-potted plant.
Is it suitable for a small aquarium?
Is it suitable for a small aquarium?
Yes, it's described as a decorative plant that is well suited to smaller aquariums.
This narrow-leaved form of Microsorum pteropus suits smaller aquariums where a bulkier plant would take up too much room. It helps newer fishkeepers add greenery without a demanding care routine. Its leaves sit at a less acute angle than the standard Microsorum pteropus, giving a tidier, more upright look that fits well between foreground and background planting.
Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow' is a variant of Microsorum pteropus bred for narrower leaves that grow at a less acute angle from the stem than the standard form, giving it a more compact, upright profile. That restrained shape helps it fit into tanks where space is tight, and the source describes it as a decorative plant that suits smaller aquariums particularly well. It also suits anyone who wants a plant that doesn't need a lot of hands-on upkeep.
You receive a pack of five pots or a pack of three 1-2-Grow! cups, depending on the format you choose at checkout; see the format guidance below for what differs between the options. The plant attaches to wood or stone rather than needing to be planted in substrate, so if you don't already have a suitable piece of hardscape in the tank, you'll need to add one separately, as this isn't included with the plant.
Mature leaves reach 10-20 cm, with the rhizome extending to 10-15 cm or more, so an established plant builds real presence over time without overwhelming a smaller tank. That narrower leaf shape and shallower growth angle are what set this variety apart from the standard Microsorum pteropus.
