✂️ Care
Java fern is an epiphyte and grows best tied to wood or stone — not in the substrate. Secure the plant with string or thread; it will attach itself after a few weeks.
💡 Planter tip
Due to its compact size, it is ideal for smaller aquariums. Combines well with Anubias Nana for a natural hardscape.
