Large motherplant, grown in a 9 cm square pot.

Microsorum pteropus is a water fern from Asia, 15-30 cm tall. To be grown on a root or stone, attached with fishing line until it has gained a hold. If planted in the bottom, do not cover the rhizome because it will rot. Easy to propagate by splitting the horizontal rhizome. A hardy plant that grows in all conditions. The black spots under the leaves are sporangia (reproductive organs), not signs of disease, as many believe.

Elizabeth H. ★★★★★

The mother plant arrived bigger than the photos suggested, easily 20 cm tall, and the roots were already gripping the rock wool in the 9 cm pot. Tied it to a piece of driftwood with fishing line and it settled in without a single melted leaf after two weeks.

Jacob ★★★★★

Roots were already well-developed in the pot, so it took hold on my driftwood within a week. The leaves are a deep, healthy green and have grown noticeably taller since I added it to the tank.

Emily B. ★★★★★

This thing is massive—easily 30 cm tall, with thick, healthy leaves that rooted to my driftwood within two weeks. I just used fishing line as instructed, and it's already looking like a natural part of the tank.
