Microsorum pteropus 'Gabon'

Microsorum pteropus 'Gabon' is a West African fern variant with broader fronds and a somewhat more upright growth habit than the Asian Java Fern, offering an interesting contrast in texture and form. It thrives in shaded positions attached to hardscape and is quite adaptable to a range of water conditions. A less common variety that makes a great conversation piece.

Attach rhizome to driftwood or rock. Tolerates low light well. No CO2 required. Provide occasional liquid fertilization. Grows slowly but reliably. Propagates from leaf plantlets.
