Originally from Southeast Asia, Java Ferns are popular aquarium plants that are relatively easy to grow. They do very well at decorating aquariums and can be kept with a wide range of fish.
Java Ferns require very little special care and can spread quickly in the proper conditions. They are good plants for beginners as a result. The plants usually attach themselves to rocks and driftwood and should not be buried.
Planting Instructions: Simply place the plant at the bottom of the aquarium or attach to a rock or driftwood
Plant Maintenance: Make sure the lighting is not too strong as they may turn brown. The plant should also be prevented from burying its roots into the aquarium substrate.
Fertilization: Fertilizers are optional as the nutrients will be adequate when the water is clean
