Microsorium pteropus “Javafern”

Java fern is one of the most popular aquarium plants due to its attractive green colour and its ease of care. In fact, it can grow in almost any water condition or light level. Though for optimal health, water should have a pH of 6.0-8.0, hardness of 2-15 dGH. Java fern can be planted on its own or in groups if you have enough space in your aquarium. It should be planted on driftwood, rocks or directly on top of gravel; if placed on driftwood or rock, it needs to be attached with roots. These plants are well suited with large cichlids and fancy goldfish. In order to prevent a build-up of excess nutrients and waste, it is recommended to change 10-25% of your aquarium water every other week.
