Dont need it anymore. you name how many leaves you want..... .30 per leaf 1.20 minimum order. if you want the whole driftwood thing it's on let me know...there's a ton of it
 
respunded!
 
Still Got it
 
How much do you have? How did it grow so viciously? The Java Fern I got has not grown a mm. All it does is grow tiny (like 1/2 cm) new plants on the tips of it's leaves. Is there a trick to growing it? I have left the roots half submerged. I have just added more lights so I will see if that helps. Any recommendations? Sorry I don't want to buy yours and have it shipped half way across the world.
 
How much?

I'm interested in the whole batch including drfitwood. How much is there and what is the cost?

Thanks
 
if you have plants growing on the leaves just pull them off and tie to a peice of driftwood or plant them with the rhizome above the gravel

Thanks. I will wait untill they get a bit bigger and do that. I just think it is wierd that the orignal java ferns I have won't continue to grow but instead they just grow little plants on the tips of the old leaves. Would it be because I have the rhizome under the gravel do you think? Or would it be because they are adjusting to new aquarium specs?

Er, you should tie your java fern to a rock or something...if you bury the rhizome under your substrate, it'll rot...unless it was above the gravel and then started to grow underneath it.
 
I just realised I made a mistake. I don't have the rhizome under the gravel. Just most of the roots are under gravel. Sorry about that. I didn't want to risk putting the rhizome under the gravel incase they were like swords. It's wierd though. This is the first time I have tried to grow java fern and they are not doing much at all. My swordplants and vall are absoluely dominating my tank. Does java fern need a different ph and hardness perhaps than swords? Or more lighting? I have added more light but they still do nothing.
