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.
  • Large Size - Ships 8-12" 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.

  • Arrived very well packed but, warm!
Style: Classic Java Fern Size: 3 Pots (6 Plants)
It's been hot here in good ole Texas. When the package arrives it was warm to the touch. I was concerned the plants may have been damaged due to the heat. I opened the package and the plants were in plastic and packaged nicely. I rinsed them off and placed them in a plastic bowl for about 7 (seven) days. I was trying to acclimate them and also see if any hitchhikers came along with the plants. The plants are very healthy and now they have made the aquarium more entertaining for the fish, and provide other benefits to the fish. I'm pleased with my purchase, thank you. ... show more

  • This is the review your looking for
Style: Classic Java Fern Size: 5 Pots (10 Plants)
Great packaging, fair amount of plants, they were in excellent health with vibrant colors and strong leaves and root groups. Super easy to get them out of the packaging and into place and they look absolutely stunning right out of the box and are doing very well, the roots are starting to explore already and my plants are doing so well! ... show more

  • Love the plant, but came with itty bitty snail.
No idea what kind of snail it is, but this is literally the only place it could have come from. Plant showed up looking great, and yes I DID rinse, guess this dude was wedged in there or stuck real good. Depending on the species I may leave him, but we'll see. Gotta figure out what he IS exactly.

  • Good plants. Watch for hitchhikers though.
Style: Classic Java Fern Size: Large (1 Plant)
They arrived in good condition. No dead leaves. No broken leaves either. I think they may have had some snail eggs on the back of the leaves so I soaked and cleaned them. They look fantastic. No melting so far. Pretty pleased with the purchase.
