Originating from Asia the Microsorum pteropus is one of many different varieties of this species, each with their own leaf shape.
This plant is extremely undemanding and will grow best tied to rock or wood. Light isn't an issue as this plant will grow well in both low lighting and high lighting tanks.
You will receive one pot with 2-3 rhizomes in each pot. Please remove from pot before planting. Never bury the rhizome in the substrate. It's best to tie to either a stone or piece of driftwood.
