Q&A

Do these Java fern narrow mounted on a plate need to be bleach dipped before putting them in to the aquarium???
Hi Mary, thank you for your question. While it's generally recommended to bleach dip plants before introducing them to your aquarium to reduce the risk of introducing pests, Java Fern Narrow on Mat is typically considered hardy and can often be safely added to the aquarium without bleach dipping. However, if you prefer to be on the side of caution, you may still choose to bleach dip them. If you have any doubts or concerns, it's always a good idea to bleach dip or quarantine new plants before adding them to your aquarium! We hope this information helps. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please email us at support@buceplant.com. Thank you, Team Buce Plant
Hi! I'm interested in the Java Fern Narrow on Plate, but I wanted to double check on the size of the plate. Is the size of the plate 3" x 10” ? Or is that the expected size of the plant growth? I ask because I'm looking to add some background plants to a tank that's 20" long, so I want to make sure the plate will fit the area I scoped out for it. Thank you!
