Do I leave it in the pot or remove it?** A: The instructions above clearly state to remove it from the pot and peel the wool of the roots, and rinse before placing in the substrate in your tank. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just good stuff… *by A***R on July 1, 2026* I ordered multiple aquarium plants from these guys recently and I’m very happy with the results!

Highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Notch. *by R***E on May 6, 2026* These plants are healthy & beautiful! packaged with care and fast shipping. So happy! 10/10 recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Need to glue to rock or wood. A wonderful & beautiful fern! *by M***K on March 31, 2025* Came early. Very healthy and green. It was very warm and moist inside the package. Shape is so beautiful on this Java fern! I’m not sure of the growth rate on these yet but I’m about to get a full spectrum light today from Amazon and that should help my plants grow faster. I also use liquid plant food for them. I used aquarium glue from Amazon to put the ferns on a rock I found and rinsed well. So far the ferns seem to be doing well! Well worth what you pay for them. ## Frequently Bought Together - SubstrateSource Java Fern Live Aquarium Plants - Potted Freshwater Plant for Fish Tanks - Beginner Friendly, Low Light (Java Fern, 1 Pot) - SubstrateSource Anubias Live Aquarium Plants - Potted Freshwater Plant for Fish Tanks, Terrariums - Beginner Friendly Low Light (Nana, 1 Pot) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/423751662-substratesource-java-fern-live-aquarium-plants-potted-freshwater-plant-fish](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/423751662-substratesource-java-fern-live-aquarium-plants-potted-freshwater-plant-fish) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
