Description
Philippine Java Fern features elegant, slightly translucent leaves that are thinner than the standard variety, with a more hammered leaf appearance. This gives it a graceful, flowy appearance under water. Like other Java Ferns, it’s easy to care for and doesn’t require planting, making it a great choice for beginners and pros alike.
Care and Planting Directions
Attach to hardscape using thread or glue. Keep the rhizome above substrate to prevent rot. Grows slowly but is very low maintenance.
