What You Receive: One cup of live java moss, packed wet.
Java moss is the most popular aquarium moss for good reason. Its fine, branching strands quickly cover wood, rock and mesh, creating a natural, aged look. It thrives in low light, needs no CO2 and is perfect for shrimp tanks, where it gives shrimplets shelter and grazing surfaces. It also works on paludarium walls and in humid terrariums.
Attaching
Spread a thin layer over wood or rock and tie it with cotton thread or fishing line; it attaches within a few weeks.
Light
Low to medium light; strong light encourages algae in the moss.
Water
Clean water with good flow keeps debris from collecting.
Trimming
Trim regularly to keep it neat and stop the lower layers turning brown.
Propagation
Any piece grows into a new patch.
