Java Fern Surgery Goes Well

Pre-Op
Using a simple pair of small scissors and some elongated aquarium tweezers I was able to rescue one of my hardy but sickly Java Ferns.


I removed the dead leaves though I left the leaves with the baby sprouts. With Java Fern when a leaf gets too old it dies though the plant roots itself will continue to be healthy. The Rhizomes on my Java Fern are amazingly developed. Here are the photos of the operation. I was surprise at how tough this plant could be; it started to spruce up as soon as I placed it in the recovery tank.

The dead and infected leaves removed. Some leaves were trimmed rather then fully removed. Tough plant in the end!
