John Collins Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 On the Java Fern purchase page it reads: "Java fern will grow across your aquarium via its rhizome while sending leaves vertically upwards toward the light source. It will produce baby plants on the undersides of its leaves which can be removed and replanted if desired." I think my Windelov Java Plant is producing baby plants and an I assume that these can also be removed and replanted. Anyone know if that is correct?

lefty o Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 thats true. let them get enough size on them to replant, then pick them off the leaf of the parent plant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lefty o Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 i dont know if there is any limit where they might die if left too long. ive let baby java ferns go quite a while before plucking, and sometimes they detach themselves. its pretty hard to screw up with the java ferns, they are pretty durable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatyourpeas Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Given that they are epiphytes, they will take nutrients from the water column. As long as they have a root, they can be detached from the mother plant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn’t a limit. Eventually they will just detach, once they get to a certain size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help! Do they need to grow to a certain size before I attach them to a rock with superglue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
