A microsorum with distinctive trident-shaped thin leaves. Delicate look suits small tanks too.
Microsorum sp. 'Trident' is a fern aquatic plant in the Microsorum genus, believed to originate from Southeast Asia, characterized by its distinctive forked leaf tips splitting into three to five prongs resembling a trident. Its more delicate and slender appearance compared to standard Java fern makes it valuable as a focal point in small tanks or detailed layouts. The basic cultivation method involves securing the rhizome to driftwood or rocks using fishing line or adhesive, as burying the rhizome in substrate causes rot. Hardy and easy to grow in low to medium light without CO2, with slow growth. It also propagates via spores forming on leaf undersides. Slow growth makes maintaining its form over long periods easier with minimal maintenance effort.
