Bare Root

Grows from a thick rhizome that creeps over logs and rocks attaching itself as it goes. When new plantlets form on old leaves you can remove them, when they are large enough (about 3") and attach them to new places with rubber bands or fine fishing line until they take root. Very easy to grow...does not need much light.

Good plant	August 7, 2009
Reviewer: Paula from Flintstone, GA United States

Good plant - has developed several baby plants already in the few months I've had it. It does tend to collect algae while the other plants in my tank do not.

Great fern	November 2, 2008
Reviewer: Perry from Chandler, AZ United States

The java fern received were all very healthy, green with no browning/blackening. They are good size too, perhaps 8" leaves.
