RE: I can't get Java Fern to grow!
Hi Jon,
I have no trouble with them. Just stuff a piece of leaf into the gravel and
I'm overrun. They will also root onto anything they can find, rocks, drift
wood or almost anything else. I must note that salt in the water stunts
their growth. A little more salt and they die. I also have moderately soft
water. I just happen to have Triton bulbs on the tanks where they do best
but I do not know if this is necessary.
Good luck,
-RJ-

Subject: I can't get Java Fern to grow!
I give up! I've tried everything. Low light, medium light, strong light.
No fertilizer, fertilizer; hard water, neutral and soft. I just don't know
what to do. They're just stagnant. Java moss grows just fine, but I can't
seem to get the ferns to fluorish. Anyone out there have any tips? I'd
like to partially choke a 2.5 or 5 gallon tank's back section w/ them, but
have failed to do so these past 2 years that I've kept them. Thanks in
advance for any help.
BTW to keep this on topic, the tanks will have A. striatum, Fp. gardneri
Gold, or A. australe Orange in them.
