✂️ Care

Java Fern is an epiphyte and grows best when tied to wood or stone — not in the substrate. Tie the plant with string or thread; it will attach itself after a few weeks. Due to its size, it is most suitable for medium to large aquariums.

💡 Planter's tip

Place on a larger piece of hardscape to best showcase the impressive, broad leaves in this XL size.
