Microsorum pteropus gigantea XL

The Microsorium pteropsa gigantea is a spontaneous mutation found in the jungles of Indonesia. The plant grows fast and large. The ends of the leaves branch out very well, thereby distinguishing this Microsorium from the other varieties. This species is only suitable for larger aquariums.

The root-stock should always be placed above the bottom substrate, otherwise the plant will slowly die.This delightful unusual plant originates from Asia and like all Microsoriums needs to be tied to wood or rock. If you do plant it, you must make sure the rhizome is not planted, otherwise it will rot.

A common question about Microsoriums are the black dots which are found under some leaves. These are reproductive organs called sporangia and are not signs of disease or illness!
