java fern having plantlets?

[axolotl nerd]

i have a couple java ferns in my axolotl tank, but i’m wondering if there are actual plantlets or something else. i’m pretty new to java ferns but have them rooted to a java rock, not buried in substrate (if that helps to determine what this is)

if needed, i can *attempt* to get better pictures

It also makes plantlets on each wound. Each little piece of leaf can also form a plantlet.
A cut leaf will also produce at least a plantlet like this :
