Java Fern Questions

[StripySnailGirl04]

Hello,
Can Java Fern grow on rocks and wood? I know that they can't grow in substrate.
Are they slow or fast growing?
Is its stems and leaves strong like anubias? I hope my nerites will be able to clean the leaves.
Can you use plant glue on Java fern?
Is this good:

Java fern should be secured to rocks or wood, you can either use cyanoacrylate superglue or fishing line. It is generally slow growing but naturally this depends on lighting. The leaves are quite rigid and not easily damaged by snails etc.

1. They can grow on hardscape. But do you really need to attach that plant onto hardscape? No. You can just chuck that plant in and it will grow just fine. I never attach it to any hardscape, and apart from a few leaves dying here and there, it's still doing good. Starting to see some new growths here and there as well.

2. Generally a slow growing plant, but grows faster than Anubias from my experience.

3. Stems and leaves are generally strong.

4. Yes.
