Microsorum Crested C Textural Epiphyte for Closed Terrariums

Microsorum Crested (a form of Microsorum pteropus) is best known as a water-loving fern, but its just as comfortable in a high-humidity terrarium. With frilled, antler-like leaves and a slow, spreading habit, this plant brings unique texture and movement to terrarium landscapes.

Performs in Water or Humid Air

While often used in aquariums, this fern doesnt need to be submerged to thrive. In a closed terrarium, it grows well when attached to hardscape like wood or stonejust as it would in water. Its rhizome must remain above the substrate, and over time, it will anchor itself naturally.

Distinctive Crested Foliage

The irregular, split-ended leaves give this plant its signature crested look. Each frond develops unique shapes, adding wild, natural character to mossy, tropical builds without overpowering other plants.

Low-Maintenance & Slow-Growing

Microsorum Crested is easy to care for, needing only stable humidity and moderate to low light. Its slow growth and firm foliage make it a reliable long-term addition to terrarium setups of all sizes.
