Can Java stay in the pot?

[DannyBoy17]

I have some Java fern, which I am supposed to tie to my rocks. Well, I tried removing it from the pot gently, and a leave broke off! Can I just keep it in the pot?

It's better not to leave it in the pot in the long run. You should just squeeze the pot and gently pull the fiber stuff and plant out of the pot. Then gently pull the fiber off the roots and rinse the plant. If you lose a few leaves and roots don't worry too much, it'll recover.

Tie the plant to a rock or bogwood using some black string and tadaa, all done!

HTH.

Done. Will it be oke next to the filter intake? A few leaves are actually sucked right against it.

It looks damn good though.

It will be fine where ever you put it [ even floating ], they really like the water current gently flowing through thier leaves though , and seem to do a lttle better as a result .
