Java Fern Malabaricum

Java Fern Malabaricum is a broader, more substantial leaves than trident or needle forms, often with lightly undulate margins. It is usually grown as rhizomatous fern with bold foliage, making it well suited to calm aquascapes, shaded hardscape layouts, and humid paludarium settings where the foliage can be appreciated up close. For PALUDRA, this item should be treated as a development-stage catalogue listing for planned stock, with the final supplied form confirmed once stock is received. In use, it is best suited to midground to background. This plant is typically grown in aquatic and paludarium conditions and performs best with low to medium light and not required CO2 support. Growth is generally slow, so it rewards stable conditions and patient maintenance rather than constant repositioning. As with many plants in this group, newly received stock may need an acclimation period before showing settled new growth. Provide moderate flow and keep the rhizome exposed above substrate.
