Designed for low to moderate light environments, these hardy epiphytes attach to wood or rock via rhizomes, eliminating substrate burying and rot risk. Perfect for beginners and experts alike, they thrive year-round without CO₂ or special fertilizers, making them a resilient, low-maintenance choice for stylish aquascapes. ## Description Microsorum pteropus - Java Fern​ - 3 Bunches - (size 8-13cm) - The Java fern is the most popular type of fern for aquatics, and is widespread in tropical Asia. This species varies widely and displays a number of different leaf shapes and sizes. Its undemanding nature makes it the perfect plant for beginners. It grows best when the rhizomes are anchored to rocks or driftwood. Low to medium lighting is completely sufficient, although it also grows well under strong lighting. Older leaves can sometimes produce plantlets that can easily be cut away and reattached in another place using a piece of thin fishing line. Due to the large size of the leaves, Java fern should be planted in the 2nd or 3rd plan. Review: Great healthy plants - The plants arrived in great condition, perfect size and look to be thriving in my temperate fish tank. They aren’t quite weighted enough so need to be buried in the gravel to keep them at the bottom of the tank. Overall I’m happy with the quality and value for money.

They aren’t quite weighted enough so need to be buried in the gravel to keep them at the bottom of the tank. Overall I’m happy with the quality and value for money. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Healthy plants *by H***E on 4 May 2026* Lovely water plants arrived in perfect condition. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely substantial plants *by L***P on 10 May 2026* Fantastic plants. I really hope I can keep these alive, I tried real plants a few years ago but I don't think I had the correct substrate. After a few years of an empty tank due to illness, I've got it back up and running again and trying to do it all properly. All the plants i ordered from this seller came extremely well packed and in fantastic condition with amazing roots. I'm just waiting for the tank to clear after putting them in the substrate. I'll start testing the water tomorrow ready to slowly introduce some shrimps then fish in the coming weeks. The filter has been going for about 5 weeks so hopefully it's cycled enough and it will be all ready shortly. ## Frequently Bought Together - 3X Bunches Java Fern Live Aquarium Plants Microsorum Pteropus Rhizome K2AQUA - 10 x Oxygenating Weed Live Pond Plant ELODEA DENSA - Also Aquarium Aquatic Plants - k2aqua 5 Marimo Moss Balls, Always Fresh Live Aquarium Plant, Cladophora aegagropila --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/603226270-java-fern](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/603226270-java-fern) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
