Microsorum pteropus is a water fern from Asia and can grow to15-30 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.
Prefers cooler temperature.
