Features

  • Java Fern is one of the most popular aquarium plants and is loved by all skill levels due to its ease of care and its ability to instantly transform a normal aquarium into a captivating aquascape.
  • Bright green and pointed leaves will fill up space and complement driftwood and stones very well, and because Java Fern are epiphytic, they do best attached directly to these hardscapes using thread or aquarium glue.
  • Easy Care - It has low light requirements and does not require additional Co2 making it a great choice for beginners to live aquatic plants.
  • Size - Ships 4-7" in a 2" pot rooted in wool which should be removed prior to planting. Gently squeeze the pot, peel back the wool, and rinse.
  • SubstrateSource inspects each plant prior to shipping and ships all plants in healthy, stable condition with proper packing materials to ensure its safe arrival during shipping. Each plant is backed with a 100% dead-on-arrival replacement guarantee for any reason.

  • Excellent Tank Addition
Size: Driftwood - M Color: Java Fern & Christmas Moss
Arrived healthy and ready to go right into my tank. The moss and fern look amazing, and my shrimp love grazing and hiding in it. Super low-maintenance—perfect for beginners!

  • Need to glue to rock or wood. A wonderful & beautiful fern!
Came early. Very healthy and green. It was very warm and moist inside the package. Shape is so beautiful on this Java fern! I’m not sure of the growth rate on these yet but I’m about to get a full spectrum light today from Amazon and that should help my plants grow faster. I also use liquid plant food for them. I used aquarium glue from Amazon to put the ferns on a rock I found and rinsed well. So far the ferns seem to be doing well! Well worth what you pay for them. ... show more

  • Beautiful Java Fern!
Size: 1 Pot Color: Windelov
Ordered the Java Fern four days ago. It arrived via FedEx in a small box, inside sealed plastic that had been misted for traveling moisture. The fern, though on the smaller side, arrived alive, healthy, and beautifully green. I inspected it for any hitchhiker snails and found none. I have it sitting in a cup of my aquarium water to watch it overnight, but it is in great shape from what I can see. I would definitely buy from them again. ... show more

  • Nice piece
Size: Driftwood - M Color: Java Fern
I’ve ordered a few pieces from substrate source. This specific one is doing great and thriving. Java fern on driftwood and it looks perfect after a few weeks. They are true to their word with refunds with dead on arrival plants, so I appreciate that. The large piece of this I got is definitely large! ... show more

  • Good sized, beautiful healthy plants!
Size: Loose - Bare Root Color: Java Fern
Amazing customer service. They quickly replaced the plants that came dead in the mail due to weather, and the new ones are absolutely perfect. The Java ferns are dark green and healthy, not a single imperfection. No pest snails attached, and I am so happy with these plants. Great value for your money, will be a returning customer. ... show more

  • Amazing Plant Quality
Size: Driftwood - S Color: Java Fern
Very healthy plants. Most of my aquarium plants are from this business, and I've always received amazing quality plants within a very reasonable time frame.

  • Lush and Healthy
Size: 1 Pot Color: Windelov
Arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Very lush and green. The reflective box was a great idea to help reduce the heat in this awful summer weather. The plants arrived in moisturize sealed packages, and had expedited shipping with FedEx to ensure they arrived alive. The cost of the plants was very reasonable. I received more of each item than I expected. I am going to have to find more places to plant it. Thank you for an easy and successful transaction. ... show more
