Can Java fern handle .3% salt?

 

[plantbrain]

Most all plants hate high Na+, they grow worst with it vs not(unless you get extremely low in Na+).

But many will do okay with some salt.

Thanks!

It seems to be doing OK so far (after almost 2 days of ~1tbsp/gallon). I'll be impressed if it makes it through the whole treatment though!

they'll be fine with that much salt.. they're pretty hardy.

Stop making me doubt myself!!

salt interupts the ich cycle... and don't forget to raise the temp to 82°F for the ich cycle to go faster.

And....don't forget to compensate if your household thermostat happens to be right next to that tank. Sheesh I was freezing...thought I had the flu!

Does water softened by a water softener constitute HIGH NA+?
