About this plant
'Windeløv' is a Java fern cultivar with finely branched leaf tips. It grows slowly and is suitable for low-light aquariums. Allow room for both leaf height and spread. Attach it to wood or rock; if positioning it at substrate level, keep the horizontal rhizome exposed. The distinctive tips provide a fine texture among broader-leaved plants.
