Description
Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv' is a patented cultivar of Microsorum pteropus, named after Tropica's founder Holger Windeløv. Its finely branched leaf tips make it one of the most beautiful aquarium plants. This Microsorum variety becomes 15-20 cm tall and wide.
A hardy and easy plant for both beginners and the more experienced. Best results are obtained by planting it on a stone or tree root. If planted in the bottom the horizontal rhizome must not be covered. This plant is hardly eaten by herbivorous fish.

Fast and speedy delivery, 3-4 days to Sweden from the order date. Plant was in a great health and was in a good size. Nicely packaged as the rest of my rather big order.
A very dramatic in its presentation plant that is very easy to keep. If you are an aquascaping newbie - remember to never plant the rhizome because it can start to rot in the... (read more)
The plants arrived in perfect condition. They were big and really good size. So far no complaints only good vibrations
