It is a resilient species that can adapt to low-light setups and is often kept in community tanks with fish and invertebrates.

Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate, as this can cause it to rot. Once attached, the plant will slowly anchor itself and begin to grow new leaves. It can also be placed in a substrate, but the rhizome must remain above the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis plant is very forgiving and does well in a variety of water conditions. Regular water changes and stable parameters will keep it healthy. It does not require fertilizers or CO2, though occasional liquid fertilization can promote faster growth. Prune dead or yellowing leaves as needed to maintain appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive 3 bare root Java Fern plants.
