This species varies widely and displays a number of different leaf shapes and sizes. Its undemanding nature makes it the perfect plant for beginners. It grows best when the rhizomes are anchored to rocks or driftwood. Low to medium lighting is completely sufficient, although it also grows well under strong lighting. Older leaves can sometimes produce plantlets that can easily be cut away and reattached in another place using a piece of thin fishing line. Due to the large size of the leaves, Java fern should be planted in the 2nd or 3rd plan.Difficulty: Easy Origin : Asia Leaf color : Light green Amount of light needed : Low CO2 : not required Usage Aquascaping, Paludarium Growth speed : Medium Height: 10-40cm Plantation zone : Background Temperature: 22-29°C How to Plant Anubias, Microsorum and Bucephalandra Follow these simple steps to ensure proper growth and longevity: Attaching to Decorations Secure the plant to wood, stones, or ornaments using fishing line or cotton thread. Avoid using glue, as it can damage the plant and, in some cases, cause it to die. Planting in Substrate If planting directly in the substrate, ensure the roots are well-developed, and the rhizome remains above the substrate to prevent rotting. Using small rocks or driftwood can help stabilise the plant. With proper placement, stable water parameters, and moderate lighting, your plants will thrive, adding an elegant and natural touch to your aquarium. No pests, no worms, no snails. The picture is for illustrative purposes only - the actual plant may vary in colour and size, especially in winter when growth slows down. While we strive to provide the largest plants possible, their size is sometimes beyond our control. The plant’s colour depends on the fertilisers used during cultivation. Once placed in an aquarium, it will naturally adapt and develop its true appearance. You will receive a plant similar to the one in the photo (without a pot or cup). The listed size represents the plant’s potential growth in an aquarium, helping buyers determine its ideal placement. The plants you receive come from greenhouses or in-vitro laboratories, meaning some may be smaller or larger than the final listed size. Please note that some plants may arrive without roots or with minimal root development. However, once planted in the aquarium, they will begin growing new roots within a few days.
