Java Fern Driftwood for Planted Aquariums, Pre-Attached Hardy Live Plant in Small, Medium or Large

Give an open area of your planted aquarium a natural focal point without attaching a plant from scratch. This live Java Fern comes pre-attached to aquarium-safe driftwood, so it is ready to place among your existing stones, wood and greenery.

Also known as Microsorum pteropus and recently reclassified as Leptochilus pteropus, Java Fern is a hardy, adaptable choice for beginner plant keepers. Its rich green leaves stand out against darker aquascaping materials while adding living texture to the layout.

Key Features

• The pre-attached driftwood makes it convenient to introduce established-looking greenery where your aquascape needs more visual interest.
• A hardy nature and suitability for beginners make this Java Fern approachable for pet parents starting a planted aquarium.
• Tolerance for a wide range of aquarium conditions and water parameters gives you flexibility when fitting the plant into an existing tank routine.
• Its epiphytic growth habit suits porous surfaces such as driftwood and stones, allowing versatile placement without burying the rhizome.
• Rich green leaves contrast against darker scape materials, bringing clearer definition to planted-tank layouts.
• Java Fern can grow in low-tech aquariums, while CO2 injection can produce a noticeable difference in its growth rate and overall appearance.
• Once established, new plants can be gently separated and reattached, making it possible to extend the greenery into other areas of the aquascape.
