Betsy Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Hello friends!! My poor, peroxide abused Java Fern (Thor's Hammer var.), is full of baby fernlets! I'd like to move them and grow them into full sizers that can go in other tanks or be given away to friends...any suggestions? Glue the fernlets to a rock? Cut and let float? Leave them be until the leaf falls apart? Any advice is very appreciated!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorydorasEthan Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I agree with @KBOzzie59. I think all three options would work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 you can normally just pluck em right off the leaf. leave them be, or pluck'em , and move them is entirely up to you. i myself like to let them get to be an inch+ or so, then pluck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalita Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 @Betsy This is happening in my tank too and I just came to ask about it! Great timing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefConfit Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I've had success with all 3 options! Glueing then to small rocks seemed to work best though. Just leaving them eventually leads to them floating, and floating works but mine end up tumbling around and growing in odd shapes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 I always seem to find a nook to slide them into on a piece of driftwood, no glue required 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the babies from other leaves have started to attach to my driftwood already. I might try to get some small pieces of driftwood and attach the babies to that...I'd love to be able to move them to other tanks and give them away...and if they attach their little roots to my big driftwood in my tank, that'll be tough! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
