    at first before it grew longer i thought it had some algae or something...haha

    i don't see it grow like this on my normal java fern though, only this narrow leaf species.

    My Java ferns always have baby plants growing at their tips, not at the sides.

    Water conditions not favorable that's why the plant grown baby plants.

    I use to have that issue for my java. after that the leaves will have turn brown...

    might occur is water is good but just plug them off once their big enough and stuff back into the main plant to make it more bushy

    Let them grow and then collect all to start a new bunch on a wooden base. Must do some sewing with fine nylon thread.
