Microsorum pteropus on lava stone XL

Microsorum pteropus in lava stone XL

Microsorum pteropus is a water fern from Asia, 15-30 cm tall, which should be grown in root or stone. If planted on the bottom, do not cover the rhizome because it will rot; easy to propagate by dividing the horizontal rhizome. A hardy plant that grows in all conditions. The black spots under the leaves are sporangia (reproductive organs), not signs of disease as many believe.
