Java fern question

[Dasmms45]

Just wondering if these brown shoots are normal on the plants and do I need to do anything to them.
Also how do I trim the plant back so it doesn't take over.
They are planted on wood by the way.

look like roots coming off baby plants but need a picture showing where they come out of the plant to be sure.

Will do when I get home thanks

The JF is reproducing, those will be new plants soon

That's good, do I need to trim or do anything with it or just let nature take its course?

Once the juvie plants reach a certain size, they'll fall from the mother leaf...then, you can plant them elsewhere in the tank

Or, you can pluck them from the ML once they form a group of leaves of their own

Yes, definitely normal. Those are roots.
