Overview

Microsorum pteropus ‘Trident’, commonly known as Trident Java Fern, is a distinctive cultivar of Java Fern featuring slender leaves with forked (trident‑shaped) tips. This compact variant typically reaches 15–20 cm and is suitable for both small and large tanks as a textured midground or background plant.

Key Characteristics

  • Forked, pinnate leaf tips with 2–5 narrow lobes per leaf, lending it a delicate, feathery appearance
  • Slow-growing and hardy, making it ideal for beginners and low-tech setups
  • Compact size: 15–20 cm in height, forming dense clumps over time.

Ideal Conditions

  • Lighting: Low to moderate—0.5 W/L typical; moderate light enhances detail without promoting algae growth
  • CO₂: Optional. Adequate growth can be achieved without injection; CO₂ improves leaf density and speed
  • Water Parameters: Temp 20–28 °C; pH 5.0–7.5; GH/KH moderate; highly tolerant of fluctuations

Planting & Care

  • Epiphytic plant: attach to driftwood or rocks using thread or plant glue—do not bury the rhizome to avoid rot
  • Trim older leaves near the rhizome; new plantlets form along leaf tips and can be separated and relocated
  • Occasional liquid fertiliser supports optimal growth; thrives even in nutrient-poor setups

Why Choose Trident Java Fern?

  • Unique visual texture adds sculptural interest to aquascapes
  • Extremely forgiving plant—low maintenance yet visually striking
  • Tiny footprint and slow growth prevent overgrowth in mature tanks
  • Suitable for nano tanks as well as larger community or shrimp setups
