Scientific Name: Microsorum Pteropus
Common Names: Java Fern
Java fern is a great low-light plant that is extremely hardy. It is an aquatic fern that grows very well under low light. It can be easily attached to driftwood or rocks. The large green leaves look best attached to driftwood and growing up or down a branch. Oftentimes, we will find java fern growing out of our sponge filters due to tiny plantlets breaking away from the mother. It propagates by cutting the rhizome, horizontal shoots, or plantlets growing from the underside of leaves.
Java fern is extremely hardy and can survive in even hard water. We grow it with little attention under low light and no fertilizer dosing. It is a great plant for beginners. With all our plants, we mainly just allow them to float in the water or settle where they like. They do not need special soil or anything excessive. Java fern will accept most water parameters and thrive in stable conditions.

Wonderful service!
Flip Aquatics is an awesome company. They really came through in every area i needed as a new tank owner. Will continue to purchase from them <3
Great shape
Java fern was very small and had a lot of brown on it. It was disappointing
The plant arrived healthy & vibrant. And then I put it in the turtle tank. It’s still hanging on for dear life, though the turtle delights in tearing pieces off periodically. Lol!
