Aquatic Plants
READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.
Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.
Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Microsorum Pteropus, commonly known as Java Fern, is a classic genus in the planted tank hobby that consists of many variations and species. Java Ferns are well-known for being hardy and suitable for beginner hobbyists looking to keep live aquarium plants. Highly adaptable, Microsorum Pteropus plants will tolerate a wide range of aquarium conditions and water parameters. This aquatic plant is also epiphytic and will grow well when attached to porous surfaces such as aquarium driftwood or stones. This quality makes Java Fern a top candidate for filling in open spaces in an aquascape where additional greenery is desired. Its leaves are a rich green tone and contrasts well against darker scape material.
Like most aquarium plant species, Java Fern can be grown in low tech conditions, but the addition of CO2 injection will produce a noticeable difference in growth rate and overall appearance. Care should be taken to ensure the rhizome is not buried to prevent damage to the plant. Once established, Java Fern will readily produce new growth that can be propagated by gently pulling new plants off and reattaching as desired.
