Microsorum pteropus ‘Narrow Leaf Red’ is a rare and eye-catching variation of Java Fern, featuring long, slender leaves with subtle reddish to bronze tones under the right conditions. Its narrow leaf structure adds a more refined and flowing look compared to standard Java Fern varieties.
As an epiphyte, it grows best when attached to driftwood or stone, where it will gradually form a natural, layered cluster. The tissue culture format provides a clean, pest-free start, ideal for introducing high-quality plants into your aquascape.
