Jungle Plants Highlight: Microsorum Pteropus Trident

Microsorum pteropus ‘Trident’ is a versatile aquatic fern prized for its unique, forked leaf structure and ease of care. Its adaptability makes it a popular choice for terrariums, paludariums, and aquariums. Whether submerged or grown emersed in high-humidity setups, this plant adds texture and visual interest to naturalistic designs.

Key Features:

• Distinctive Appearance: Narrow, forked leaves give Microsorum pteropus ‘Trident’ a dynamic, bushy aesthetic.
• Growth Habit: This epiphytic plant thrives when attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscapes, eliminating the need for substrate planting.
• Size: Typically grows to 1520 cm in height, making it an ideal midground or focal point plant.

Care Guidelines:

• Lighting: Low to moderate light levels are ideal, as this plant is sensitive to excessive light, which can cause leaf damage.
• Water Parameters: Thrives in a wide range of water conditions, preferring a pH of 5.57.5 and temperatures between 18C and 28C.
• CO and Nutrients: While not dependent on CO supplementation, it benefits from nutrient-rich water for optimal growth.
• Humidity: Perfect for high-humidity environments when grown emersed in terrariums or paludariums.
• Placement: Attach the rhizome to hardscapes rather than burying it in substrate to prevent rot.

Propagation:

Propagates easily via plantlets that form on mature leaves, which can be detached and grown separately once roots develop.

Microsorum pteropus ‘Trident’ is an excellent choice for hobbyists seeking a hardy, low-maintenance plant that enhances naturalistic aquascapes and humid terrarium environments.
