This java moss has been grown between 2 pieces of mesh and then clamped down like a sandwich - over time the moss gradually grows through the gaps. By the time you receive it, it's probably several months old.
Ideal for placing in the foreground to create a carpet, it's most effective when sat side by side with a few of them and that way you can create instant impact! A huge time saver and an impressive sight. Very easy to grow and keep - trim once a month to keep the moss from getting leggy. Prefers low light so keep it away from bright LEDs otherwise, algae may grow on it.
1. Slow growing
Mosses are well known for being relaltively easy to grow. Due to the fact they are slow growing, it means demands are low. This means less light, less fertilisers and less care.
2. Not too much light please
Because all mosses are slow growing, you can't force them to grow quicker. So brighter light and loads of CO2 won't turbo charge them - actually you'll just end up stressing them out. Whilst some will always grow faster than others, mosses take time to get to the stage you want them to be. Patience.
3. Trimming is beneficial
Like all plants, mosses need trimming with a shaprt pair of scissors so don't hold back. Avoid them getting leggy, trim them to keep their shape and they will reward you with better growth which is a deeper green and dense.
