This variety of Java fern is known for it's large forked leaves. It is hardy, adaptable, and attractive making it a popular choice for beginner and well-seasoned aquarists alike. Java ferns are epiphytic plants, meaning they grow from a rhizome that should not be buried in the soil. These plants are best to attach directly to hardscape.
Java ferns reproduce by growing small plantlets at the ends of each leaf. You can propagate the plant easily by gently removing these plantlets by hand, or by dividing the rhizome itself.
