Java fern question
 

I just bought a large java fern. I read somewhere in the past that the
spores on the leaves can be used to grow new plants. How is this done? Can
you pick a spore off and drop it in the gravel? Or how else can you grow a
new plant? Thanks.

Java fern is a most hardy low light plant. Hard to not keep it from
not spreading. I have JF growing without burying the bottom, I just
weight them down with lead weight.

For some reason, one of my 10 gallon tanks seems to have perfect
conditions for JF and I must "harvest" large floating islands of the
plants, whereas my 29 gallon isn't so great. I have replaced the 29
gallon JF several times using starter from the 10. The latest one I
sunk with a lead weight and it is doing well, so far.

Baby plants will grow on leaves all on
their own. I have no idea what if anything
you can do to trigger the process. I started
with one small-ish Java Fern and now
have them all over my tanks due to self
reproducing.

Do nothing and new plants will grow at the leaf tips.
