🌿 Ruffled Java Fern 'Windelov' – Frilly Texture for Natural Aquariums
Windelov Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov') is a frilly-leaved variation of the classic Java Fern, offering the same low-maintenance care with a splash of decorative flair. Its split, bushy leaf tips create movement and texture in low-tech aquariums — making it a perfect accent plant for shrimp tanks, driftwood scapes, or jungle layouts.
Grown naturally without CO₂ or chemical fertilizers, this rhizome plant thrives in shaded, dirted aquariums and Father Fish–style setups.
