Mine never "fall off," at least while the mother plant is alive. Sometimes
you can gently pry them off but, usually, a little snip is required.

Ok....so they ARE suppose to fall of then. Pretty much all of the
plantlets have leaves that are about 2-3" in length. Any idea of
approx. how long these things hang on for?



They will fall of eventually. Those are "plantlets" and if they are too
hideous you can remove them. Wait until the new plants are an inch or so
long and you can then safely remove them from the parent plant and
restart
them somewhere else.


My java fern has undergone a massive growth spurt once I *unplanted*
it

It has growths all OVER the leaves and fine haired roots coming from
the new growths.

It looks hideous! I thought that these growths were suppose to drop
off or something. Will they?

I can post links to pix of the fern if needed.
