| 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.
