Whitecloud09 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Ok so I thought this nothing and it still might be nothing but…is this a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creedmoor Aquatics Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Are you referring to it making 'fingers' instead of normal pointed leaf shapes? If yes, that is common to certain varieties of Java Fern, such as Java Fern 'Windelov'. If not, could you maybe explain why you're concerned? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Need to detach it and open up the rhizome or it’s going to get damaged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is kinda brown and black in some spots. @Creedmoor Aquatics On 2/4/2024 at 2:00 PM, Mmiller2001 said: Need to detach it and open up the rhizome or it’s going to get damaged. I couldn’t find the rhizome @Mmiller2001. So is this something I should take action quickly? Help please @Mmiller2001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creedmoor Aquatics Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Ah. So all that white stuff, that's the glue? That's a lot of glue. I'd recommend using removing the rock and fern from the tank, and using acetone to remove the glue. Then thoroughly wash the rock and fern, then try again. The Aquarium Co-Op has a guide for using super glue in the aquarium here: https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/how-to-plant-anubias-or-java-fern-on-rocks Also a video from Cory here: Java Fern</a> super glued to rocks!

Sorry….I am new to plants and trust me that glue was waaaaayyyy to much. I messed up and I learn from my mistakes…😢. To late unlesss I could take it out the trash can 🗑 and retry but now to late I think. @Creedmoor Aquatics I am sorry. Should’ve not done that. @Creedmoor Aquatics it was for the best. Didn’t put on the right rock. I will restart @Mmiller2001 I guess I did the right thing. Didn’t want to fool with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creedmoor Aquatics Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Okay BigDog. Better luck next time. One other thing you might have done would be to let the plant die (maybe in a small tank/plastic tub), and see if it tried creating any babies from its leaf tips before it did. I only say that now as something to think about if you ever have a dying Java fern on your hands again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
