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 can be attached directly to these hardscapes using thread or aquarium glue very easily.
  • Easy Care - It has low light requirements and does not require additional Co2 making it a great choice for beginners to live aquatic plants.
  • Ships 4-6" bundled and vaccumm sealed for protection, and is ready to be planted immediately upon recieving. Do not place the rhizones below the substrate or the plant can begin to rot.
  • 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.

Description

SubstrateSource Microsorum pteropus is likely the most popular Live Aquarium Plants of all time as it's suited for a wide range of planted aquarium aquascaping styles is an undemanding, easy to care for variety. As with other aquatic ferns from the Microsorum family, Java Fern can thrive under low light, low maintenance conditions. It'll do best when tied, glued, or allowed to naturally attach to aquascape decor like driftwood or stones. Do not bury the "rhizome" root portion into your aquarium gravel or substrate.

Nice, healthy plants. About 5-6 inches tall. Didn't find any pest snails on them, which is unusual when ordering plants.

  • Loved!
Size: 1 Pot Color: Java Fern
Very well kept and alive. I separated it into 2 to add to each side of the fish tank. I will be definitely buying more once I upgrade my fishy tank. Don’t mind the water. It isn’t dirty, is in the cycle process.
