Bring the beauty of a miniature underwater tree to your aquarium with the Microsorum Moss Tree. Standing approximately 8 inches (20 cm) tall, this ready-to-place living aquarium decoration features lush Java Fern attached to a moss-covered, tree-shaped structure, creating an eye-catching addition to planted aquariums, nano aquascapes, and shrimp tanks.

Available in two beautiful varieties — Regular Java Fern and Windeløv Java Fern — each tree features a natural-looking canopy of live aquarium plants supported by a moss-covered trunk and a weighted base.

Best of all, these aquarium trees arrive fully assembled and ready to sink immediately. There is no need to attach plants, tie moss, or wait for driftwood to become waterlogged. Simply place your Microsorum Moss Tree in the aquarium to add instant height, greenery, and natural character.

Why Choose a Microsorum Moss Tree?

• Instant underwater tree effect: A raised canopy of Java Fern creates an attractive miniature tree-like appearance.
• Approximately 8 inches tall: Adds instant vertical interest to nano aquariums and creates an attractive decorative feature in larger tanks.
• Pre-made and ready to place: Live plants and moss are already attached, so no additional planting or assembly is required.
• Weighted to sink immediately: Place the tree directly into your aquarium without additional soaking or weighting.
• Great for fish and shrimp: The moss-covered structure and leafy canopy provide additional shelter, grazing surfaces, and areas to explore.
• Beginner-friendly: Java Fern is an easy-care aquarium plant that does not require injected CO₂ or high-intensity lighting.
• Flexible placement: Use it as a standalone focal point, a midground feature, or a background accent.
• Two beautiful varieties: Choose between the classic leaves of Regular Java Fern or the decorative branched foliage of Windeløv.

Moss-Covered Trunk & Weighted Base

Each Microsorum Moss Tree features a tree-shaped structure covered with live aquarium moss, creating the appearance of a naturally overgrown underwater tree. The moss adds texture and provides additional surfaces for biofilm and microorganisms to develop in an established aquarium.

The weighted base allows the tree to sink immediately, making it a convenient alternative to loose driftwood or DIY plant arrangements that may require soaking, tying, or additional weights.

Simply position the tree in your desired location. It can be used as a standalone feature or incorporated into an existing aquascape with rocks, driftwood, carpeting plants, and other aquarium greenery.

Perfect for Nano Aquariums & Shrimp Tanks

At approximately 8 inches (20 cm) tall, the Microsorum Moss Tree is an excellent way to introduce vertical structure into a nano aquarium without constructing a complicated hardscape. Its raised canopy creates a natural focal point, while the moss-covered trunk adds texture and greenery throughout the structure.

Small fish can swim around and beneath the branches, while shrimp can explore the moss and fern leaves in search of naturally occurring biofilm and microorganisms. The foliage and moss also provide additional cover for aquarium inhabitants.

In larger aquariums, position the tree toward the background to add height, soften hardscape, or create the appearance of a miniature underwater forest.

Easy-Care Aquarium Plants – No CO₂ Required

Both Regular Java Fern and Windeløv Java Fern are well known for their adaptability and easy-care requirements. They grow attached to hardscape rather than needing to be planted in aquarium substrate, making them ideal for this pre-planted arrangement.

The Microsorum Moss Tree is suitable for low-tech planted aquariums and does not require injected CO₂ or high-intensity lighting. Low to moderate lighting and stable aquarium conditions are generally sufficient for healthy growth.

Occasional liquid aquarium plant fertilizer can help support the Java Fern and moss. As the plants develop, older fern leaves and excess moss can be trimmed to maintain your preferred tree shape.
