## Questions & Answers

**Q: I bought this Java Fern and it came with tiny black specks all over the leaves, can anyone tell me what those are? don’t look like potential rhizomes.**
A: Mine did the same thing and I tried to scrub them off, then my sister who is great with plants told me they were BABIES! Sure enough, the ones I didn't scrub off turned in to new java fern plants! Let them grow a bit (they will develop leaves and roots) and then gently pull them off and plant them. Congrats!

**Q: How long after receiving it do I need to plant it?**
A: As long as you don't let it dry out and it has some light, you can let it go for awhile. Java fern also grows around rivers and damp areas in Asian forests under other trees and between rocksas well as under water.

**Q: will this be good for a fountain ?  - we have problems with algae in the fountain so wonder if this will keep the algae down.? No fish**
A: Not really because these plants go in the water. If algae is your problem then sunlight is more than likely your enemy. You could try some floating plants like Java moss. But I’m not sure it will fix the problem entirely if it is an outdoor fountain

**Q: is this plant ok to put in a 125 koi tank?**
A: Koi are terrible to plants. If you want the investment worth it, I’d recommend switching to silk artificial plants. They look very natural and can increase bio load which is beneficial for koi. If you don’t mind the plant being destroyed then it should be fine.
