Java fern is one of the most popular aquarium plants in the hobby due to its beauty and easy care. They can grow in low light conditions and a wide range of water parameters. The mini version is perfect for any tank size due to their smaller leaves. The plant can be attached directly onto driftwood, rocks or any aquarium decoration using thread or glue.Ā Make sure to keep the rhizomes above your substrate or the plant can begin to rot.Ā Propagation is easy and straightforward; simply cut or pull apart rhizomes to be replanted.Ā Ā
Notes:
