Java Fern question

[TheBigSpoon]

My java fern has had new plants growing on its leaves for about a month and a half now, some are starting to develop leaves. About how long does it usually take the new plants to mature? Do they fall off on their own or should I pull detach them myself eventually?

Pick them off one they become yellow and translucent, they will look obviously dead. I just prune them with scissors at the stem of the leaf. Im not sure if pruning is ok but i do it with my normal flowers so i dont see why not.

they will detach from the leaf as their roots get longer. You can manually remove them as well once they get a few inches.

:iagree:

I usually let them detach on there own and float for a bit until the roots mature.

i purchased a java fern about three years ago.
it never gained any leaves, and never lost any.
i still have it...and it's almost like it's a fake plant.

i never does anything....i feel obliged to keep it
because it's still nice and green...haha.
