Live Aquarium Plant Java Fern on Coco Fiber Mat for Low-Light Tanks, Terrariums and Easy Aquascaping

This live Java Fern on a coco fiber mat gives aquarium and terrarium keepers an easy way to introduce natural greenery. It arrives pre-attached and ready to place, while its easy-care nature suits both simple setups and detailed aquascapes.

Each living plant is unique, so the mat's height and shape will vary. Java Fern grows in low light across a wide range of water parameters, and its slow-to-moderate growth makes it a practical choice for an established care routine.

Key Features

• The Java Fern arrives pre-attached to its mat and ready to place, reducing the work needed to position it in an aquarium or terrarium.
• It can grow in low-light conditions and across a wide range of water parameters, offering flexibility when choosing its place in the tank.
• As an epiphytic aquarium plant, it can remain attached to driftwood or stones, giving you more freedom when arranging hardscape.
• Propagation is done by separating the rhizome, providing a straightforward way to replant and spread established growth.
• Dots beneath the leaves are normal for Java Fern, so they need not be mistaken for a plant-health problem.
