Microsorium Trident
Microsorum Trident, commonly known as Trident Java Fern, is a popular aquatic plant in freshwater aquariums. Its unique, forked, trident-shaped leaves create a striking visual effect, making it a favorite for aquascaping. This hardy, low-maintenance plant thrives in low to moderate light and doesn't require CO₂ supplementation. It grows best when attached to rocks or driftwood, absorbing nutrients from the water column. Perfect for beginners.
Notes:
-
Java Fern is an epiphytic aquarium plant. This means it can grow fine when attached to aquascaping hardscape like driftwood and stones.
-
Java Fern will propagate through its leaves. Dots on the underside of its leaves are normal and not a cause for concern.
-
Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
-
Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant above a quality substrate.
-
Burying the rhizome will cause the plant to die
-
Plant is grown best attached to wood, rock, or sitting on top of substrate

CO2 injection will yield better growth.
