The name of the ferns of the genus Microsorum comes from the presence of small mounds (Mikros-Soros) on the bottom plate foliare.Questi small heaps, when the foliage is out of the water , containing the spores, the means of haploid breeding from which the originerà gametofito.Oggi, in addition to various species Microsorum of naturally occurring (linguiforme M., M. membranifolium, M. punctatum, M. Narrow leaf) are several commercially available "cultivatar" very special as M. Windeløw presenting the tips of many branches ramifications. The most popular species is undoubtedly Microsorum pteropus , whose specific name " pteropus" means "Winged Foot" and indicates the characteristic shape of the leaves have emerged. Sometimes
M.pteropus is also called "Java fern - fern of Java, the place of discovery of the first specimens described. Belonging to the family Polypodiaceae
(Berchtold & Presl,1820), M.pteropus è diffusa in tutta l'Asia tropicale, in particolar modo in Nuova Guinea e nello Sri Lanka. In natura,la si trova come epifita,epilitica e corticola presso luoghi umidi(torrenti,fiumi,rigagnoli)su tronchi,ciottoli e fogliame in decomposizione, in luoghi ombreggiati o mediamente soleggiati.
Questa essenza presenta un rizoma (da rizo-:radice,-oma:rigonfiamento;è una modificazione del fusto con principale funzione di riserva) con radici ricoperte da una leggera lanuggine utilizzate per aggrapparsi ai supporti. Le fronde,lanceolate,sono molto coriacee e generalmente raggiungono i 15/20 cm di lunghezza mostrando un colore che và dal verde chiaro ad un verde piuttosto scuro(quando sono vecchie).Osservandole carefully one can see the typical dark vein that runs through.
This plant is very popular for its compact size and for the remarkable robustness and adaptability to different environmental conditions as long as the rhizome does not get buried, in which case the plant perishes in short tempo.In aquarium should be tied to some rock (preferably porous) or root or bark or other decorative material. To anchor it must link its rhizome with the nylon thread after a couple of months, when the roots are clinging to the substrate, can be rimosso.Un good way to expedite the issuance of new leaves is to defoliate the plant to ' note of the location in vasca.La administration of fertilization should be moderate to avoid algae and a regular supply of CO2 is well appreciated.
M.pteropus thrives in a range of temperature and pH large enough (withstands temperatures from 18 ° C to 30 °, ideal temperature 22-25 ° C), although very hot and alkaline environments in the leaves may go against necrosis. When the clump reaches
The size desired can be made available mitigation of pruning and thinning by cutting the damaged leaves to stalk, being careful not to nick the rizoma.Per the reproduction there are different effective techniques that require more or less time . One of these plans to divide the rhizome into several parts (3 / 4 leaves each). Another technique is to detach from the underside of older leaves small weeds that under optimal conditions are formed in large numbers.
