More Information: 

Java fern is another hardy plant. It is an aquatic fern that grow very well under low light. It can be easily attached to driftwood or rocks. The large green leaves look best attached to driftwood and growing up or down a branch. Often times, we will find java fern growing out of our sponge filters due to tiny plantlets breaking away from the mother. It propagates by either cutting the rhizome, horizontal shoots or by plantlets growing from the underside of leaves.

Java fern is extremely hardy and can survive in even hard water. We grow it with little attention under low light and no fertilizer dosing. It is a great plant for beginners. With all out plants, we mainly just allow them to float in the water or settle where they like. They do not need special soil or anything excessive. Java fern will accept most water parameters and thrive in stable conditions.
