Java Fern Live Aquarium Plant - Beginner Plant

(Please view Shop Announcement for Further information)

Bring natural beauty and effortless growth to your aquarium with Java Fern (Microsorum pteropus)—a hardy, low-maintenance plant perfect for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike. Known for its long, textured green leaves and slow, steady growth, Java Fern thrives in low to medium light and doesn’t require CO₂ or special fertilizers, making it ideal for low-tech setups.

This plant attaches easily to driftwood, rocks, and aquarium décor, creating a beautiful, natural look while providing shelter for shrimp, bettas, guppies, and nano fish. Because it grows from a rhizome (not planted in substrate), it’s incredibly versatile and great for all tank styles—planted, jungle, natural, or minimalist.

Java Fern helps improve water quality, reduces stress by providing cover, and stays vibrant with very little care. A perfect choice for anyone wanting a hardy, dependable plant that always looks stunning.
