Random Java Fern Growing In Gravel?

[evansimp]

I have a 40 gallon tank with 2 java fern in them right now! 1 has been in for about 2 months, and the other for 2-3 weeks. Recently I found this random plant growing in the gravel, and identified it as java fern due to its leaves and roots. I dont know how it got in the gravel, and how well it is going to do, but I am excited that I have a new plant. However, do you guys suggest taking it out of the gravel and attaching it some driftwood, or leaving it where it is?

Thank you!

If it is pushed too far into the gravel, it may die. However, as it took root there itself, in this case I would leave it be.
