Windelov Java Fern

Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv' (commonly known as the Windelov Java Fern) is a highly popular, patented cultivar of the classic Java Fern. Developed by Tropica Aquarium Plants and named after its founder, Holger Windeløv, this plant is famous for its unique, finely branched, lace-like leaf tips that resemble staghorn antlers.

It is an incredibly hardy, slow-growing epiphyte that makes a perfect addition to both low-tech and high-tech freshwater aquariums.
