Ymir Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 a Needle Leaf Java Fern? and not the one of Trade-me. Way, way, way too expensive! Any one have some they want to sell? I know this is not the trade and exchange but you are the plant people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbieBoy Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi Ymir, I'm selling the plant on TradeMe, would you like me to send you a small piece ? (**secret squirrel**) - DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Oh! Secret squirrel me too! Pretty please?? :bounce: Just a teeny tiny piece... I love Java fern and I have never seen any like that. I would absolutely love to grow some of that gorgeous plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquila Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Oh my gosh! Hope this doesn't start a huge trend but could I possibly have a really small piece too??? I would pay you for it and shipping to welly. PM me if you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Why don't you all go and bid on it where he has it for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 It is a basketball piece that is well over $100 now. Seriously too big for my tank and seriously too expensive! I guess somebody might make a profit by buying it and splitting it up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbieBoy Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Uh oh, I see where this is going... :lol: Ymir, jenniferh and Aquilam_11 - PM me your details and I'll send you enough to get you started. Anybody else, feel free to contact Ymir, jenniferh or Aquilam_11 in a few weeks for yours If any of the bidders on the auction for the mother plant are in the house, rest assured that I won't be trimming anything off that momma, these small bits will come from my remaining stash. It's a great plant, grows nice and dense and doesn't seem to suffer from the leaf blackening that regular Java fern exhibits when the leaves get a bit older. Very hardy and undemanding; in fact I've found it does best in dark corners rather than in full light. Can't believe it isn't more readily available really.

Ymir Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Might be this one. Microsorum pteropus 'Windeløv' looks about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 windelov is quite different to needle leafed Java fern and so is the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Free or expensive they are not the same plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 It's Microsorium brassii right Alan? Although I have heard it called Microsorium pteropus (narrow leaf). :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I just did a search on the net and it didn't bring up any photo's of Microsorium brassii, and with the limited info I could find it said that M. brassii is rarely collected. My plant book also calls it M. pteropus "narrow leaf". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
