Why Choose Java Fern?
- Hardy, low-maintenance live aquarium plant that needs no special substrate
- Thrives in low to medium light and standard freshwater conditions
- Can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or décor (do not bury the rhizome)
- Provides natural shelter and grazing areas for fish and shrimp
- Excellent for natural aquascapes and planted tank designs
Care & Placement Tips
- Rinse plants thoroughly under tap water before placing in your aquarium to remove any debris or residues.
- If you keep shrimp, soak the plants in tap water for 30–60 minutes before adding them to the tank — this helps neutralise any traces of treatments that could harm sensitive invertebrates.
- Do not bury the rhizome in substrate; instead, attach plants to wood or rock until they anchor naturally.
Shipping & Quality: All plants are carefully inspected and packed to ensure healthy arrival. Introduce plants to your aquarium within 24 hours of delivery and acclimate them gradually to tank conditions.
Aquascaping Tip: Java Ferns pair beautifully with natural hardscape materials such as Dragon Stone, Lava Rock, or driftwood, creating depth and texture in your aquascape.
