Microsorum pteropus ‘Gold Sparkle’, also known as Java Fern Gold Sparkle, is a newer variation of Java Fern known for its shifting green tones and lighter new growth. Fresh leaves emerge in a brighter shade and gradually deepen in color as they mature, giving the plant a subtle, changing look over time.
Recently reclassified as Leptochilus pteropus, this plant is still widely known in the aquarium hobby as Microsorum pteropus. Like other Java Fern varieties, it is hardy and easy to care for, making it suitable for a wide range of planted aquarium setups.
As an epiphytic plant, it can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or placed into crevices within hardscape. Over time, it will naturally anchor itself, making it a great option for filling in sparse areas and adding additional greenery to an aquascape.
Java Fern Gold Sparkle grows well in low tech conditions, though the addition of CO2 and nutrients will improve growth rate and overall appearance. Be sure to keep the rhizome above the substrate to prevent rot. Propagation is simple—just divide the rhizome and reattach as needed.
