- Bright green and pointed leaves will fill up space and complement driftwood and stones very well, and because Java Fern are epiphytic, they do best attached directly to these hardscapes using thread or aquarium glue.
- Easy Care - It has low light requirements and does not require additional Co2 making it a great choice for beginners to live aquatic plants.
- Size - Ships 4-7" in a 2" pot rooted in wool which should be removed prior to planting. Gently squeeze the pot, peel back the wool, and rinse.
- 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.
