Notes:

  • Java Fern is an epiphytic aquarium plant. This means it can grow fine when attached to aquascaping hardscape like driftwood and stones.
  • Java Fern will propagate through its leaves. Dots on the underside of its leaves are normal and not a cause for concern.
  • Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
  • Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant above a quality substrate. For instructions on how to properly prep aquarium plants, clickĀ here.
  • Burying the rhizome will cause the plant to die
  • CO2 injection will yield better growth.
  • Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

Reviews

The aquatic plants I received

"The aquatic plants I received were incredibly healthy and looked great right out of the package. Hardy and bound together well ready to attach. They were easy to plant, and the online instructions were clear and helpful. I did a short quarantine just to be safe, even though they appeared clean and free of pests. Overall, a great product—very satisfied with the purchase."

Healthy plant, excellent value!

"One pot of this mini java fern went a long way in (and is the perfect scale for) my 6 gallon shrimp cube. I pulled it apart into smaller pieces and glued them to manzanita twigs, and it's putting out new growth after a few weeks. For some reason, java fern has never looked great in any of my previous tanks, but this stuff is thriving. Not sure which of the plants in my order they came in on, but I did get a couple of "bonus" bladder snails (Physella). IMO, these are "good guys" and were very welcome and needed in my new-ish tank (surface algae on my anubias has been decimated since they started reproducing). Also way cuter and more fun to watch than ramshorns. If you want to avoid hitchhikers, just order tissue culture plants—Buceplant has plenty of those for sale!"
