    hey folks so i bought this plant a lil while ago when i was looking for java fern windilov and i was pretty sure when i bought it that was what it was. however when i got it home and compared it to the windilov i already had it was very different and it had patches of spores on the underside which makes me think its a terrestrial plant instead. so have i been conned?

    It looks like a Java to me - it seems that there are more java variants out there than we think - what I have looks quite different, was also sold as Windelov. It is much "curlier" than the one you picture, the fronds curl from the base as opposed to branching at the tip. I concluded that they are just diff variants... might be off base though!

    might be a more mature plant. All my java ferns have spores on the underside of the bigger leaves
