This plant will easily become the centerpiece of your aquarium if given the right conditions and care.

They can grow up to 7 inches in height, and they do go through a ‘resting phase’.

During this time, you’ll see that the plant sheds most of its leaves and it stays that way for a while before new leaves emerge.

So during this phase, please do not think that the plant is dead and throw them away.

It takes a few weeks before you’ll see new leaves emerge after the ‘resting phase’ and new leaves often grow fuller than before.

Water circulation in the tank is important to keep this plant healthy.

The nutrient from the Wabi kusa will help the plant thrive.

Any dead tips on the leaves should be trimmed regularly and care should be taken to ensure that there is no algae formation on the plant.

Some care tips:

• Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters will result in the melt and rotting of the aquarium plant.
• Java Fern Windelov are hardy, undemanding rhizome plants which are great starter plant for a beginner.
• CO₂ injection will yield better growth.
• Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
