Microsorum - Anubias 'Duet' on wood - XL

Microsorum pteropus and Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia rooted in a large piece of mangrove wood.

Microsorum pteropus is a fern from Asia, 15-30 cm tall, which should be grown on a root or stone, tied with fishing line until it takes root. If planted on the bottom, it will not cover the rhizome and will rot. Easy to propagate by splitting the horizontal rhizome. A hardy plant that grows in all conditions. The black spots under the leaves are reproductive organs, not symptoms of the disease as many believe.
Anubias barteri var. Caladiifolia comes from an Australian tissue culture laboratory. It is a very beautiful variety with heart-shaped leaves. The leaves live for several years, so Anubias barteri var. Caladiifolia can easily form large groups despite its slow growth. A group of Anubias barteri var. caladiifolia to a width of more than 50 cm in a few years is not uncommon.
