    Description

    Taxiphyllum barbieri Bogor Moss is a fine-leaved, naturally spreading aquarium moss producing branching stems of small, triangular to lance-shaped leaves in vivid green that form dense, flowing mats on wood and rock. Collected from Bogor in Indonesia, it has a slightly different growth character and leaf arrangement from standard Java Moss, typically growing with a more open, flowing structure that is attractive and natural-looking on hardscape.

    It is an easy and undemanding moss tolerating low light without CO2 injection and adapting to a broad range of water conditions. Grows without the need for precision care and is extremely forgiving of variable conditions. Provides outstanding surface area for biofilm, making it one of the most valued mosses in shrimp aquariums where grazing surfaces are particularly important.

    Supplied as a Tropica 1-2-GROW! tissue culture cup, this plant arrives completely free from snails, pest algae, and pesticide residue. Rinse the gel and attach portions to wood or rock using thread or aquarium-safe glue. Suits aquariums from 15 litres upward — an easy, flowing hardscape moss that is fully shrimp safe and excellent for shrimp and breeding aquariums.
    Plant Sizes

    The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.
    WHAT TO EXPECT

    Tissue cultured plants are supplied young and grown in a sterile environment, so they arrive free from snails, algae and pesticide residue. They may look smaller on arrival, but each cup contains multiple plantlets designed to be divided and planted out, where they establish quickly with minimal melt and grow into place.

    Product Details

    1. Grown in a laboratory

    Tissue Cultured Plants are unique in so much as they are grown in a laboratory and not a greenhouse. As a result of this, a cast iron guarantee is offered which is 100% so snails and no pesticides.

    2. How to handle them

    They're a bit different from potted plants because they're grown in an agae solution that contains nutrients and hormones to encrougage plants to grow. Some agar is liquid, others are more solid depending on what the growers prefers. Regardless once they arrive with you, acclimatise to room temperature and then rinse under luke warm tap water. Then plant up.

    3. Pot sizes

    Nearly all TC pots are 5cm in diameter and the pots will range in fullness depending on many factors such as the natural growth speed of the plant and the time the grower has held them for. Sometimes the pots are exceptionally full and sometimes not so full - something we cannot control. But either way, they're still really good value when you look at the overall plant mass.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    Is Taxiphyllum Bogor Moss easy to keep?

    Yes. Like all Java Moss varieties it tolerates low light without CO2 and adapts to a wide range of water conditions. One of the most forgiving aquarium mosses.

    Does it need CO2?

    No. It grows without CO2 in low to medium light and is suitable for low-tech aquariums and shrimp tanks.

    How do I attach it to hardscape?

    Rinse the gel from the cup and attach small portions to wood or rock using fine thread or aquarium-safe glue. The moss will anchor itself over several weeks and the thread can then be removed.

    Is it safe for shrimp tanks?

    Yes. As a Tropica 1-2-GROW! tissue culture plant it arrives free from snails, algae, and pesticide residue — outstanding for shrimp aquariums where the biofilm on the moss provides excellent grazing.

    How does it differ from standard Java Moss?

    Bogor Moss typically has a slightly more open, flowing structure than standard Java Moss, giving it a somewhat different appearance on hardscape. Both are equally easy to maintain.

    Ordered the 120l aquarium kit for a new setup we’d bought my dad for his retirement and I was blown away by the variety and quality of the items provided.

    Everything was in perfect condition on arrival and, despite sourcing the wood locally, everything just worked around it.

    My dad is over the moon with how it came out and the aquarium looks like it’s been established for a while already.

    Highly recommend and would definitely shop here again

    Ordered this as I didn’t want to have to start

    Ordered this as I didn’t want to have to start from scratch. Firstly was very impressed with the care that the plant had received during packaging, arrived look fresh and healthy, put in my newly purchased betta tank and was immediately impressed. One week later still looking good and showing no signs of decline. Look to purchase more plants on wood it the near future. Would highly recommend.

    Love it

    Ive been wanting to plant my not so very planted shrimp tank up for months, and ive been trying to find the best plants to look nice (large in the back to smallest in the foreground) and i come across the scaped for you section. I am pretty much a novice at planting tanks as this is my first ever time doing it. Firstly id say that while this does come with a layout guide, it is only a guide and not a "how to" because it is only an image that is provided and nothing else. This isnt a bad thing of course because your tank is you own and you can do whatever you want with it. It took me about 2-3 hours to fully complete how i wanted it and set it up with the plants and after a few days of settling in looks so much better than i expected it. I love it and i think my shrimps do too :) - one thing to note i would say is if youre buying spider wood, make sure you weight it down or soak it for a long time before putting it in the tank as your first placement will most definitely float and cause some frustration. Id definitely buy this or another scaped for you option in the future if i wanted to do this again.

    First time ordering plants online and I now have a permanent source. Not only cheaper but so much better than previous purchases I’ve made in store.

    Can’t make a single complaint, next day delivery, great packaging no damage anything. And the moss balls are so tiny I love it. Can’t wait to add them to the tank.

    They include little care sheets to figure out how to properly care for your plants if needed. Will be coming back when I’m ready to move forward with the next plants. Great company ☺️

    Neutro CO₂ - Liquid Carbon for planted aquariums

    Does the job (along with Neutro T) in a low-tech tank

    I've been using Neutro CO₂ along with Neutro T Aquarium Plant Fertiliser daily for a few months now to revive a neglected low-tech tank. It seems to be doing the job - the plants are recovering and the algae issues are hugely improved. I double dose Neutro CO₂ with no problems (although it did create a lot of organic sediment when first using as the algae died off - easily removed with regular syphoning and water changes).
