Received the Needle Leaf Java Fern quickly and it looks great in my tank. I attached it to a driftwood piece and it’s already showing signs of root attachment. Very easy to maintain and stays healthy even with moderate lighting.

The plant arrived in good condition with water, as promised. I placed it on a rock and it has settled well. Growth is slow, which is perfect for my setup. Would recommend to anyone starting with live plants.

I was worried about it not surviving, but it’s thriving after a week. The roots are wrapping around the stone nicely. It’s a beautiful addition to my aquarium and very low maintenance.
