Descripción

Java fern is, alongside anubias, the most recommended plant to start with: elongated deep green leaves, unhurried growth and notable tolerance of low light and hard water. Like the whole family, it grows from a rhizome that must stay above the substrate. There are sought-after varieties — Windelov, Trident, Narrow Leaf — that are cared for identically and differ only in leaf shape.
