Microsorum pteropus (Java Fern)


pH: Neutral
Temp:
Hardness:
Light: Low
It is "MY-kro-SOR-um," by the way, not spelled or pronounced "MY-kro-SOR-ee-um." Microsorum means "tiny spore," a name that would apply to pretty much any fern, I'd think; pteropus ("terr-OH-pus") refers to the "winged base" of vigorously growing leaves on a well-established rhizome of the robust form.
