Frequently Asked Questions

Can Java Fern or Java Moss be planted in substrate?No. Like Anubias, the Java Fern rhizome should never be buried — tie or glue it to driftwood or rock. Moss can simply be tied on in a thin layer.
Do Java Fern and moss need CO2?No. Both are naturally low-light, no-CO2 plants, making them a reliable choice for low-tech tanks.
Why are black spots appearing on my Java Fern leaves?These are usually new baby plantlets forming — a completely normal way Java Fern propagates, not disease or damage.
How do I stop Java Moss from growing into a messy clump?Regular trimming with scissors keeps the mat dense and tidy. Loose, detached wisps can be removed during water changes.
