✂️ Care

Java Fern is an epiphyte and grows best tied to wood or rock — not in the substrate. Secure the plant with string or thread; after a few weeks, it will attach itself.

💡 Planter's tip

The narrow, graceful leaves provide a refined accent — combine with broad-leaved species such as the standard Java Fern for texture variation.
