Re: I can't get Java Fern to grow!
Sometimes benign neglect helps. Just take care of your killies, feeding and
changing water. Java ferns are slow growers. However they will sneak up on
you. As Jeff says, keep the fragments too.
It's a little like learning about a subject (killies perhaps). You think you
know nothing and you search and search. In time you still have more
questions than answers, but you are pleasantly surprised to discover that to
the newbie, you do have something to offer.
All the best!
