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 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.

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.

Plants look incredible. Healthy and larger than expected. I ordered one and actually got two individual rhizomes. Pictures are about 30 hours after putting them in the tank.
