Indian Fern


Aqua

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if Indian Fern ( www.nik.co.nz/ifern.htm ) can be grown out of the water? I have HEAPS of it growing as a floating plant, and I'm going to have to remove some, as it's stopping water flow, and cutting out light... 8) I just don't want to throw it away!

Also, I think my clown loaches are starting to eat my amazonicus, I saw some horse-shoe shaped marks on one of the lower leaves this morning, when I get home from work tonight, I'll take some photos and post them up for y'all to see :)

It will produce aeriel leaves (fronds, I guess, being a fern) sometimes

but as far as I know needs to kept very humid so I'd guess it

wouldn't do well out of a tank.

I think even really high humidity wouldn't be enough. I had some that had grown up around my spray bar and was sitting out of the water. The leaves that were further from the water turned black and died. Used to have heaps of it...I'm not sure where it all went, hehe.
