The Mini Trident Fern is a rare and highly sought-after variant of the Java Fern, known for its compact size and uniquely shaped, forked leaves. This plant offers the same hardy, low-maintenance qualities as other Java Fern types but with a more intricate and delicate appearance. Its smaller growth form makes it ideal for nano tanks, foreground placement, or detailed aquascapes. As an epiphyte, it thrives when attached to driftwood, rocks, or other hardscape elements.
