New growth on Java Fern

[kurly]

I've finally got some new growth on my Java Fern after what has seemed like an eternity since I got it. It is really one of the easiest plants to have in a tank. Just attached it to something and let it grow.

I got some java online from some crummy seller on Ebay and it has not gotten one stinking new leaf in 5 months now and the old leaves are all spotted. Very few of those long, brown roots. I then bought some java from another seller and got long, flowing roots and within a month had new growth. I think the first seller cut too much of that root system off because they are doing nothing.

It is neat to have new babies growing, isn't it?

[kurly]

Yes. It is very neat. I had no idea that the new babies grow from the brown spots on the leaves. Or at least I think they do, don't they?

[msjinkzd]

Yes they do, and from the rhizome.

I need to buy a few more so I can put them in my 10 gallon tank. I have wisteria in there now but I think I want another plant just to give it a different look. Plus you can't go wrong with java fern! It's pretty cool to see the little leaves sprout out Tolley.
