A
very special rarity, belonging to the diverse family of the Filmy
Ferns. This tiny, moss-like fern was found in southwestern India on
rocks along a stream. It is not yet identified with certainty and likely
belongs to the species Crepidomanes malabaricum. In its natural habitat
it is flooded during the rainy period only, however it can be grown
permanently submerged in aquariums. This fern has tender, dark green,
transparent leaves on a thin, creeping rhizome.
It is
recommendable to fix Crepidomanes cf. malabaricum on stone or wood, you
may also leave the plant on the pad and place it in the aquarium
foreground. This fern grows very slowly, forming a carpet by and by. It
is rootless but develops dark, hair-like rhizoids on the rhizome which
help it adhere to the substrate. This Crepidomanes doesn't need much
light, but a good CO2 and nutrient supply, soft to medium hard water and
a good water current are beneficial.
Crepidomanes cf.
malabaricum is a great enrichment for the aquascaping and looks
particularly good in small-scale, delicate layouts, for example on
vertical structures of the hardscape. Because of its extremely slow
growth, one should pay attention to keep it from overrunning by other
plants such as faster growing mosses.
