plantlets starting to form on all of the leaves. Is it possible for new

plantlets to develop and then attach them to the driftwood?


The old leaf will never re-grow any roots or rhizome. Java ferns do
not propogate by cuttings.

If the leaf has the black "spores" on the back, then you can just let
the leaf float, and the baby plants will grow and mature enough that
you can then attach/plant them.
