Originating from the island of Java, Indonesia, Java Fern Philippine is a popular and low-maintenance aquarium plant. It thrives in Southeast Asia’s streams and waterfalls, growing on rocks, tree roots, and the ground. This epiphytic plant is perfect for attaching to aquascaping hardscapes like driftwood and stones.

- Hardiness: A hardy plant that’s perfect for beginners due to its tolerance for varying conditions.
Care Tips:
- Temperature: Prefers a temperature range of 21°C to 24°C but can tolerate temperatures as low as 15°C and as high as 28°C.
