Java fern 'Windelov' or Java fern lace is as easy to grow as normal Java fern - it thrives even under low light and is not very demanding. What makes it unique are its lacy leaves, which branch off at the tips. Robust "Windelov" Java fern plants can often survive in goldfish and African cichlid tanks because of their tougher leaves.
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
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.
How We Grow and Store Our Plants
We store all of our plants in aquariums with plenty of light and fertilizer to start converting their leaves. This picture is from our warehouse. Not all vendors store their plants in water; many store them out of water in bags straight from the farms. This is more time without light and doesn't give them a head start in growing underwater leaves.
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.
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.
So happy with my Betta Community tank; I couldn’t have done it without Aquarium Co-op!

Very happy!! Beautiful plants
I was skeptical about ordering plants online. I am very happy I took the chance. All the plants I ordered are beautiful. I am a beginner in planted aquariums, I hope I don’t kill them and if I do I will definitely order more. They were packed really nice like I said I was skeptical and now I’m greatly surprised.

Hiding Spaces
I like this plant, the variations in the leaves and stems will give plenty of hiding spaces for smaller fishes.
