  • Popular beginner plant
  • Easy care in low light
  • Hardy leaves

Java fern is hands down one of the most popular plants in the aquarium hobby. It is a slow grower and will thrive even in low light aquariums. Its thick, long leaves provide excellent cover for fish and fry, and they can often survive in goldfish and African cichlid tanks. It can produce baby plants from dots on the undersides of its leaves, which can be removed and replanted if desired.

Hardy Plant with Easy Care

One of the most popular, beginner-friendly plants is java fern. Its tough leaves can survive goldfish, African cichlid, and even mildly brackish tanks. Just add water, low light, and some Easy Green all-in-one fertilizer to keep it happy. As it gets larger and grows baby plantlets from its leaves, you may need to supplement with Easy Potassium to keep it well-fed.

Attach to Rock or Wood

For a natural look, java ferns can be attached to rock or driftwood with super glue gel. Simply draw a small line of glue on the hardscape, and firmly press the roots of the fern in place for 30 seconds or until set.

We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.

Easy Planter

This natural, rock-like decoration is perfect for the lazy fishkeeper. Just drop the entire java fern with its pot into the center hole of the Easy Planter, and place it in your aquarium. Works great with bare bottom tanks or fish that like to dig.

Java Fern

This is a very fast growing plant that produces a cluster of new plants. Gluing it to rocks is a quick way of getting it going in your tank. It is really easy to propagate.

Replaced and satisfied

I ordered 3 Java ferns. Two arrived with leaves brown in color and not doing good. Emailed the same email that notified me the package was delivered and got them replaced same day. They shipped next business day and just got them over the weekend. The new ones were much healthier! Thank you!
