Re: java fern and windelov question


I've had Java Fern for years, not the Wendt's Love variety, but it's a shade plant so I've learned to adapt. I use floating plants to filter the light, seems to work well for me. I've got Java Fern in multiple tanks now, and even with similar conditions, I've noticed differences.

I'd recommend ...

Re: java fern and windelov question

The leaves that aren't under the direct light are perfect, really beautiful. I'm pretty sure the others are getting burnt. I'll do some research and see what I can find out - if it's something that can harm the whole plant. Although, this plant is a real grower, always putting out new leaves and ...

Re: java fern and windelov question

Hi boomer, thanks for the reassurance, I really love the unique look of this plant and it's a great addition to my tank. I've only had it for a month, so I'm hoping it's just settling in like you mentioned.

I've been dosing Flourish Comprehensive once a week, but I've been doing it based on the ...

java fern and windelov question

I picked up this plant because I wanted something low maintenance with no CO2 requirements. I've got a Fluval Edge 6 gallon tank that's perfect for anubias, but I wanted to mix things up with some different leaf styles - and I loved the unique look of this one.

Re: How to keep your plants free of pests

I'm on a mission to change people's minds about pond snails and ramshorns - they're not pests, they're awesome. Sure ...
