So the roots for these ferns are like appendages. They're meant to attach themselves to other plants or objects. Like epiphytes. Their goal is to be elevated in the water column. The nutrients are absorbed through the "Rhizome" that vine the leaves are growing from the top and roots from the bottom. FYI, they'll grow on anything. Your decorations you bought are great to use. Attach with super glue (frugally).

Me too! Thanks for watching 🤙

So sad I'm a beginner and just pulled the string off my new plants last night and I picked off atleast a handful of baby rhizomes and threw them away because I didn't know better😢

Don't be hard on yourself. I've killed many of plants and animals due to mistakes. They're lessons and we are capable of learning from them. Thank you for sharing your story 🤙

What type of glue?

Thanks for watching and thank you for subscribing! 🤙 You can use any type of super glue that's in the form of "Gel" the ingredient that makes it this way is called "Cyanoacrylate" it will be listed on the ingredients on the back of the package. As long as it is a gel with that rediculous name for a substance lol it's perfectly harmless to your inhabitants and plants. I'll send you a link to a follow up tutorial on the propagation of Java Ferns 🤙

Keep the babies. The fern they're growing off of will die. Then you'll need several years of patience because it takes that long for them to grow full size underwater. Hope that helps and unfortunately it takes longer than one would anticipate.

Well you know what, this maybe the best reply i have ever received not funny tricks that wont work but just add to my stress. Now i know that i will not have fern anytime soon in my tank so will put swords in their place till they grow . Also are they affected by high lighting? i Have a powerful light for my carpets while at the same time tryimg to grow fernz

@@RandB_Aquatics , when it comes to light and the plants you put in there. You will notice overtime that some will thrive and others will die. It makes things more difficult trying to juggle lighting for different plants. Try lots of plants. The one's that make it are perfect for your tank. Thanks for your questions my friend 🤙

im pretty mad right now. I just planted them nicely and now i gotta take em out to remove this damn string lol

But hey; could've been worse. If they had died in a month and then had found this video. Think about how pissed you'd be then. 🤣🤣
