Description
Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow', one of many selections of the Java fern, has very narrow leaves. This plant is also sold with the label Microsorum "Minor". The leaves get a length of about 10-30 cm and a width of more than 1 cm. An attractive plant that is especially suitable for smaller aquariums.
Characteristics
Microsorum pteropus 'Narrow' is a narrow-leaved relatively small Java fern variety. However, several forms of M. pteropus can be found in the hobby, all of which go under that name. One of them is also called "Needle Leaf", which has lead to the general opinion that 'Narrow' and "Needle Leaf" are identical. However, the fern carried under the variety name 'Narrow' by Tropica is not the same as "Needle Leaf".

Arrived safe and sound. There were no brown leaves on the plant. I have it in the Aquasabi Pod and it simply looks great in the aquarium!

Schöner Javafarn
Kam heil und gut an. Es gab keine braunen Blätter an der Pflanze. Ich habe sie im Aquasabi Pod und es sieht einfach toll aus im Aquarium!
I've always had great experiences with the plant quality at Aquasabi, and the staff are very knowledgeable and have often helped me expertly, both by phone and by email.

Javafarn kam gut verpackt in super Qualität an
Habe bei Aquasabi immer super Erfahrungen mit der Pflanzen Qualität gemacht und die Mitarbeiter sind sehr kompetent und haben mir schon oft sowohl telefonisch als auch per Mail fachkundige weitergeholfen.
Both Narrows were nice and big and in great condition.
So far no unwanted hitchhiker fauna to be seen, I assume it'll stay that way

Sehr schneller Versand und klasse Pflanzen
Beide Narrows waren schön groß und in tollem Zustand.
Bis jetzt ist mal noch keine unerwünschte Begleitfauna zu erkenne, gehe mal davon aus das das auch so bleibt
