Description: This is an auctions for a Java Fern mat. The mat measures roughly 2.5 inches by 4 inches. The size refers to the height of the Java Fern.

Please note that the images are a representation of the Java Fern mat you will receive, not the actual mat. Your mat may or may not have baby ferns growing. I will attempt to send a photo to you via eBay message of the actual mat you will receive. I only ship out Monday & Tuesday of every week to make sure your plant has a minimal transit time. Also check out my other auctions all have BFFGA in their titles. Java fern is sensitive to changes in water value/shipping. It may become slightly brown during shipping or when first introduced into your aquarium. THIS IS NORMAL. Give it a week to recuperate. Leptochilus pteropus, synonym Microsorum pteropus, commonly known as Java fern after the Indonesian island of Java, can be found in Malaysia, Thailand, Northeast India and some regions of China. It is a highly variable plant with several different geographic varieties that vary in leaf size and shape. Found in its natural habitat growing attached to roots and rocks, it can grow in both fully and partially submerged environs. The plant can propagate through small adventitious plants formed on older leaves, which attach themselves to hard substrates. Java fern is one of the most popular plants in the aquarium hobby, due to its aesthetic appeal and ease of care. Several cultivars of Java fern exist, including the "narrow leaf", "needle leaf", "Windelov", "trident", and "lance leaf" variants. Cultivation in the aquarium is usually performed by tying or glueing the rhizome to rock or driftwood, instead of planting it directly into the substrate.It can be cultivated in tap water, dim or bright light, with or without gravel. It is more snail resistant and grows better with higher fish loads.
