Aqua Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Andrew.

Ira Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqua Posted August 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 weird... all of my Indian Fern is floating, and most of it has fronds that rise quite high, comparatively, and they seem to be doing really well... :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Yes but the rest of the plant is submersed. It would not survive totally out of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
