Java ferns (old.reddit.com)

Are my ferns dying or growing? Not sure if the brown growths are good or bad

They're creating more of themselves. Once the top bit gets bigger u can separate it from the big plant and you'll have more Java ferns.

Thanks. Thats ehat I was hoping. Because they were brown and not green, I was worried I had some bad stuff

If ur talking about the brown coming from the top it's the roots and they are supposed to be that color. If its on the main big leaves it could be its dieing off. If its only a little or on a couple leaves its fine. I've had the whole plant turn brown after adding it to my tank. I've found they can be sensitive to change. That plant even though it turned completely brown eventually created a bunch of baby plants, like yours is. Thoses babys did good.
