Firstly you could cut the rhizome in half and replant the cut sections. I have used gravel to anchor the fern but out of 6 plants 4 have died and the last 2 are browning a bit and also giving shoots from the leaf tips.

How to plant java fern in sand. Propagating java fern is very easy and doesn t require any special conditions or work on your part. Cultivate new plants by tying the plant s rhizomes to rocks or driftwood instead of planting it in the substrate directly. I have been experimenting with aqua plants like java fern and java moss and both aren t flourishing well.
If anything propagating java ferns is simpler than it sounds. These compounds are known to be harmful to fish and shrimp in macro quantities the tank inhabitants will are safer thanks to this role the java fern performs. There are a couple of ways to propagate.
Half of the java moss has turned brown and becoming bits and floating in the water. The java fern has a simple plant structure. After seeing the black or dark brown spots wait until the plantlets appear and develop to form several trailing roots as well as leaves.
Wrap thread or fishing line around the rhizome and the attaching object e g rock or driftwood several times or use a zip tie or two to secure them together. So obviously you can keep it in a sand substrate aquarium. Java fern will grow in tap water in dim or bright light and with or without gravel.
Alternatively you can wait for the plant to develop tiny java ferns on its leaves. Ideally you should not burry its rhizomes in the substrate. The long thin leaves and the stringy numerous roots sprout out from a dense rhizome.
Java fern is a water column feeder so it gets all its nutrients through water. You can even put it in a bare bottom tank and it will do well. So you can use any substrate for this plant.
Java fern plant absorbs ammonia nitrates and phosphates from the water as food. Java fern comes with rhizomes. The separate plants will then continue to grow.
Star your java fern in a tank with the water temperature anywhere from 60 f to 83 f and a ph from 6 to 7 5. Plant propagation means developing new java ferns by germinating seeds splitting rhizomes bulbs and root cuttings.
